Take two thick slices of Noonie's day old bread, smear Honey Cup honey mustard
liberally over both. Cover both slices with green leaf lettuce. Then on one slice only lay smoked turkey on the lettuce,
a tomato slice on the turkey and sprinkle it with shredded carrot. Then on the lay a slice of provolone cheese over the
carrot then a green pepper ring on top of the cheese. Sprikle with sprouts. Cover with the other slice, lettuce side down.
The letuce should be stuck to the bread with honey mustard so it doesn't fall off when you turn it upside down to cover the
sandwich. Slice sandwich in half with a knife. Wrap in tightly in plastic wrap. Use too much wrap. Tape on label. Tadaaa!

Should Burlington Count Votes by Hand?
Sunday, March 30, 2008
Owen Mulligan has written an informative piece about Diebold optical scan vote counting machines like the ones we use in Burlington. Apparently they aren't always reliable:
"The incident was a faulty equation on a warrant article vote with 193 "yeas" and 198 "nays". But the vote total recorded by the machine was 369. Obviously, that did not add up."
I used to feel pretty good about the opitical scanners, probably since I've been trained since birth to fill in little circles with a number 2 pencil. But Owen's story makes me wonder...
"Here’s how they work: each machine has a memory card which is like an electronic voting box where all the votes from the paper ballots are recorded and tabulated. Before each election, these memory cards must be programmed to reflect all the races with the candidates names, party affiliation, etc. This is done by a private company..."
I don't like the sound of "memory card." That just seems like trouble. But now I'm wondering, why can't we just count votes by hand? It's rare that any ward in Burlington has more than 2000 ballots on any given election. I don't think we really need those machines. Couldn't a bunch of folks count 2000 ballots in an hour? Sure they could. They did it before electricity.
Since writing this article I have found out that a different optical scanner model in NH was used....not the same as ours. I'm still trying to verify this as orginally it was reported to be the same model as us.
This still doesn't change the fact that optical scanners and esp. Diebold optical scanners have serious problems.
The NH election proves this as does the numerous studies like the Brennan Report, etc.
I'll post a comment when I am able to clarify this issue over what model was used.

Haik,
