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. |
