Comments on: Diebold Still Sucks http://www.unlikelywords.com/2008/01/10/diebold-still-sucks/ A blog with delusions of grandeur.

Since people's current confidence levels render just about every election disputable, we're setting ourselves up for a neverending waste of time and money (among other, perhaps worse consequences) if we don't solve the problem at a basic level. My proposal is that only my vote will count. That'll make recounts really quick and easy.
