Actually, they're not.
They simply got fucked over by the Dems in the '00 election. The Dems
insisted on the layout of the ballot (as is their option) in Broward
county.
As a knee-jerk reaction to this fucked up incident, Congress acted to
"correct" the mistake and tried to fix it in '02 and '04, which caused
more confusion and distrust.
Worse, they came out with the HAVA, which is a smelly, filthy piece of
crap, designed to get *less* people to vote, not more. Talk about a
waste of taxpayer dollars!!
Now, they're coming out with new legislation to try and fix HAVA, with
the "Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act" (http://
www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-811) that will completely
destroy any credibility the local Registrars have in the minds' of voters
due to even more expensive and fucked up "controls."
Onward!
