Crappy SF Voting Machines to Be Replaced With Ones that May Work

In the latest saga of SF's "Craptacular, 3rd-World Elections," Sequoia Voting Systems demonstrated the new voting machines this week that we could soon use at the polls. The machines perform very useful functions like actually counting paper and electronic votes, which takes it up a notch from our current machines. They can't even get certified by the state. The company who made those paper weights, Election Systems & Software, once refused to admit any wrongdoing, but has since rethought things and will be paying the city $3.5 million.-Andy Wright
