I was just quoting the same article you did, where you only pointed out the
negative towards Bush and not the other possibility which the author
included.   That is being biased.

Marc, do you really believe they set up the touch screen that way?  Come on
man...

Bullshit..

If there is a big button on the screen, how can
someone push the wrong part??  I'd like to see the
software these machines use..  The target for Kerry
was probably 2x2 pixels.  Touch anyplace else on the
screen, and it is a vote for Bush.

I have used many touch screens, and they do not need
to be recalibrated once they are working correctly.

Furthermore, Human Factor studies of user interfaces
on any device or software is BIG business.  The data
can be used to make the machines fair..... or unfair.
