Earlier today from a Palm Beach Post<\/em> blog item…<\/a><\/p>\n

Count Rush Limbaugh among the voters confused by Palm Beach County’s touch-screen machines.<\/p>\n

On his syndicated talk show this afternoon, Limbaugh said he was trying to vote in today’s primary when the screen seemed to freeze or “stick”\u009d on the list of presidential candidates.<\/p>\n

“I hit ‘Next’ and it didn’t go there,”\u009d said Limbaugh, who lives in Palm Beach and often recounts the county’s electoral foibles on his show.<\/p>\n

Then he hit the “Back”\u009d button and “got my candidate page again with the vote already recorded there. So I said ‘hmmmmm, I wonder if this is going to count twice.”\u009d<\/p>\n

So he unclicked his favored candidate, clicked that candidate again and hit “Next”\u009d a second time – and it worked.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know if I voted twice,”\u009d he said. “Probably not.”\u009d<\/p><\/div>\n

For the record, although Florida’s Republican governor and legislature have voted to finally trash the touch-screens and move to all paper ballot elections, today’s Primary still uses the old touch-screens in many counties. Elsewhere, problems are occurring — yet again — with the paper-based Diebold op-scan systems in the Sunshine State. The same machines used in New Hampshire, and the same ones seen being hacked in HBO’s Hacking Democracy<\/em><\/a>, are reportedly failing in several locations there. More on that soon.<\/p>\n

The touch-screen systems used by Palm Beach County, also home of voter fraud felon Ann Coulter<\/a>, are made by Sequoia Voting Systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
