Voting irregularities

Yes, I know the election is over. Yes, I know that GWB won. But, some of the reporting about the voting irregularities is getting interesting. Check out this article from Computerworld (not some political rag or blog, but a respected IT magazine):

University researchers challenge Bush win in Florida



As someone who has working in technology for the past 17 years, I know that things can and often do go wrong with systems. No matter what comes of the report, I believe that voting technology needs to be thoroughly reviewed and tested. A zero-defect system with an external audit and reconcilliation process should be the goal.
