City Council candidate Al Paglia was declared the winner, only to learn that the tally machines had reversed his votes with his opponentà ‚¬ „ s. As it turns out, the company that made the voting machines actually KNEW about the software glitch but neglected to inform city staff. Ità ‚¬ „ s curious why Palm Beach County bought these machines in the first place. They had a well-documented history of problems, yet the city bought them anywayà ‚¬"on a no-bid contract. Meanwhile, according to The Free Press, voting machines used to count votes in multiple states, including some swing states, are manufactured by a company with ties to Bain Capital and Mitt Romney. Ità ‚¬ „ s reminiscent of the 2004 election when Wally Oà ‚¬ „ Dell promised Bush he would deliver the states where his machines were used. If the votes are close in these swing states, it will be hard to trust the results. |
