77. What is interesting is that the media is now covering stories
such as these.

There was a case where the sec of state of texas just stopped a recount - because the "printed/vote verification" varied in some places by more than 20% of what had been reported at the time. There was another recent story I recall reading about.

Compare that to a few years ago when there were irregularities in a Fla special election - where the votes were off, and a state official declared there needed to be no recount because there was nothing to recount (no paper trail) - and that electronic machines would never make mistakes anyhow.... and there was very, very little coverage.

My point is that awareness has greatly grown... a great testiment to the many, many people involved in organizations raising concerns, red flags in the area of serious potential problems with evoting machines.
