New Governor Charlie Crist whom just replaced the presidents brother Jeb Bush is putting an end to the controversial machines in favor of optical scanning systems that will read paper ballots according to TampaBay.com. Best of all he wants it done by the 2008 election!

Not to pick sides here but after the problems in 2000, 2004 & 2006 I think its time most states adopt a system that works. My own state of NY has used the same voting machines for quite awhile, I believe they leave a paper trail and I cannot imagine ever reading of a real problem. If NY, which can barely pass a budget can get it right I think the rest of the country can.
