Touchscreen kiosk voting may be ousted by Florida governor

January 31, 2007

Reuters: Florida Gov. Charlie Crist on Wednesday said he would propose abandoning touchscreen voting machines adopted after the disputed 2000 presidential race and replacing them with devices that provide a paper record.
 
In response to intense criticism over the 2000 race — when a recount dispute focusing Florida's "hanging chads" and inscrutable ballots was resolved by the Supreme Court — election supervisors in 15 counties spent millions on touchscreen technology, which itself has come under fire.
