Florida Touchscreen Vote Records Lost

The records from the 2002 gubernatorial primaries are now history reportedly due to a number of computer crashes. A shadow continues to hang over the upcoming presidential election, and it is the potential for major problems with the increased use of these electronic voting machines.

LATE FRIDAY UPDATE: They found the records on a CD somewhere in the bowels of the office. That solves that. I guess we have nothing left to fear in Florida. Meanwhile, the Florida GOP is encouraging their voters to vote absentee.
