Touch Screen Voting Going Away in Florida


October 14th, 2007

The New York Times has the story in Florida where up to 25,000 touch-screen voting machines, purchased for about $5000 each, will be removed by January 1st 2008 and replaced by optical-scan machines. Across the nation touch-screen voting machines, bought in a flurry after the 2000 election, are being removed in droves seen as a massive failure.

The Times lays out the difficulties ahead for Florida and other states as they move away from the machines.
