THE BIG 2016 DANGER MAY BE ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES: Not this story again:

We have less than five months before the primary voting begins and, perhaps more to the point, less than 14 until the general election. The clock is ticking for the candidates, of course, but it’s also counting down for the infrastructure which will handle the tedious chore of counting all the votes. In many states, election officials are taking a very worried look at the no longer newfangled electronic voting machines which were put in place after the hanging chad debacle of the 2000 election and finding them unready for the task.

As the Professor is wont to point out, perhaps it’s time to go to back to the future: “Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the paper ballot: An idea whose time has come again.”
