An Election Reform Birthday

Monday, March 30th, 2009

Check out the gift I got from my folks for my 26th birthday last week, a Votomatic punch-card voting machine from Palm Beach County that was used in the 2000 recount election!

If you come here often, you might remember that I checked out some of these very machines right around the time that HBO’s Recount ran last year.
