Chads aren't the worst of it.

We have been told, time and again, to be confident in the results from computerized voting. We are told this despite worrying memos, despite reports of problems, despite the strong political statements of the CEOs of the companies making the machines. Now we learn of multiple errors in the logs for machines in Flordia. "The internal logs of at least 40 Sequoia touch-screen voting machines reveal that votes were time and date-stamped as cast two weeks before the election, sometimes in the middle of the night." Time to make sure there's no mistakes in our own records. Hanging chads aren't the worst problem you can have.
