In Florida, the lawsuits have already begun. For example: it would be really nice to have an audit trail, such as paper receipts, for those electronic voting machines, wouldn't it? But the supervisor of elections, Theresa Lepore, isn't interested. Now it's in federal court. Read all about it!
Yes, those machines are so reliable we don't need no steenkin' paper trail. If there's no audit trail, then there's no recount, and it will all be so much tidier...
If you wanted to be registered Republican but were too shy to tell anybody, you had your chance in Alachua and Bay Counties, also in Florida.
