might work better for deciding elections in Broward County, Florida. Evidently, touch screen voting is not an improvement over butterfly ballots. According to the article, about 134 (1.3 percent) of the votes didn't register, perhaps because voters didn't confirm their vote by pressing a “vote” button. But the article is silent on the truly interesting questions: So what did the next voter see on the screen? The previous voter's unsent vote? Which vote was submitted? How were lost votes determined?
