"Fla. Elections Officials Find 2002 Data"

MIAMI (AP) - Miami-Dade County elections officials said Friday they have found detailed electronic voting records from the 2002 gubernatorial primary that were originally believed lost in computer crashes last year.

Seth Kaplan, spokesman for the Elections Supervisor office, said the records were found on a compact disc in the office. "We are very pleased," he said.

When the loss was initially reported earlier this week, state officials had stressed that no votes were lost in the actual election. The record of the votes had been believed lost during the crashes in April and November of 2003, and county officials had said they did not have a backup system in place until December.

The lost records marked the latest in a series of embarrassing episodes involving Florida voting since the turmoil of the 2000 presidential race.

2. this is such bullcrap
we've been howling for well over 18 months about how insecure the EVM's are, and presto change-o, suddenly the records are miraculously retreived. Anyone else notice a pattern here. . .? *'s AWOL microfiche records are destroyed and they are miraculously redeemed and prove absolutely nothing.
