I never thought I'd see the day when our laughable elections would be our newest export to the US, the very country whose democracy we try to ape (no pun intended).
Who would have thought that Manila sweatshops would figure prominently in the manufacture of U.S. voting machines?It turns out that Election Systems & Software, one of the top voting machine companies in the country, has its machines assembled in a Philippines sweatshop.
...
Anyone who has been reading the e-voting posts here will know that ES&S machines are at the heart of a 2006 election dispute in Sarasota, Florida, where some 18,000 ballots cast on the company's touch-screen voting machines showed no vote cast in a congressional race.
