Fry the vote?

(BRAD FRIEDMAN - HUFFPO) - The story rightly refers to "a virtual meltdown" from last spring's primary in Chicago and Cook County, and goes on to add that vote totals can be completely fried...

Let me be clear here: Our elections are not a fucking Beta Tests for unpatriotic Voting Machine Companies. Our Elections are the core of our democracy and should be handled with the care and accuracy and security and transparency that the citizens of the United States deserve.

There are no excuses for the blatant FAILURES (not "glitches", not "snafus", "snags" or "hiccups") of these voting machines, Voting Machine Companies, and the Elections Officials who FAILED to make sure the systems they have purchased to do the job that WE hired them for, actually work and to the job they are supposed to do.
