Update: Florida votes no for touchscreen voting
May 3, 2007
The New York Times: Florida legislators voted on Thursday to replace touchscreen voting machines that were installed in 15 counties after the troubled 2000 presidential election. Florida will be reverting back to an optical scan voting system. The new system is scheduled to be running in time for the 2008 presidential election.
The move is the nation's biggest repudiation of touchscreen voting, which was embraced after the 2000 recount as a way to restore confidence that every vote would count. But the reliability of touchscreen machines has increasingly come under scrutiny, as has the difficulty of doing recounts without a paper trail.
