Tech-nocracy In-Action

It’s not clear to me how in today’s technologically advanced world, that computerized voting presents us with such a challenge. Rather then streamlining the voting process, all kinds of problems arose in various polling places yesterday, including power outages, card mixups, suspected tampering and system performance problems, leading to long delays in voting. I anticipated some troubles and signed up for permanent absentee status long ago, which means I get to fill in my vote with ink on paper, something similar to the old scantron sheets they used to pass out in school on test day. No smart cards, no hanging chads. Ah, the good old days.
