It should be noted that the other big problem with the recent
election in Allegheny county is that some of the paper ballots (used
for absentee voting or when electronic machines were not available)
have been lost and nobody seems to be able to find them. They found
most of them (improperly handled by poll workers and placed in the
wrong envelopes at the close of polls), but as of a few days ago
there were apparently a number that are still unaccounted for in one
very close race.

Allegheny County recently held elections with electronic voting
machines.
Only one software version was approved, but at least 2 versions
were used,
making the election here illegal. The local paper declared in a
headline
that the voting machines "worked well" -- as if "working" means going
through the motions of voting with no assurance that votes are
actually
counted.
