U.S. District Judge James I. Cohn ruled that the state of Florida will not be required to create a paper trail for its new touchscreen voting system. U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) had filed suit against Secretary of State Glenda Hood in an attempt to ensure that “undervotes” and voting errors could be minimized through accountability. Cohn disagreed and ruled for the state, arguing that Wexler’s suit hadn’t met the required burden for issuing an injunction.
I think I understand now. Florida liked being the center of attention in 2000 so much that it’s doing everthing possible to mess up in 2004 as well.
