Recipe for a Cooked Election


By Greg Palast

They just don’t get counted. This "spoilage" has occurred for decades, but it reached unprecedented heights in the last two presidential elections. In the 2004 election, for example, more than three million ballots were never counted.

With electronic voting, ballots no longer have to be just thrown away by hand for the opposing non-prefered candidate by the power behind the scenes, the votes can be deleted electronically and automatically.
