Today Premier/Diebold has again had to accepted the blame
for voting machine failures. This time the optical scan
machines that had tallied absentee ballots in Sarasota
County would not upload the totals to the main server and
refused to post elections in Hillsborough County. Election
officials in Sarasota ended-up having to count 10,000
ballots by hand. It is a good thing they had the paper
ballots to count by hand or those votes would have been
lost....
