Absolutely, utterly terrible.
Care to please elaborate on this?
Not really, tbh. I simply care about democracy and don't think blatantly inaccurate counts should be left standing.
Inaccurate counts should not stand, but I would argue that in an election that close using the ballot technology that they did, the FL race was a statistical tie. With any given technology there are votes cast that can be counted either way as judged by experts trained to count them. In FL the margin of error created by the ballot technology was greater than the vote difference, hence it should be regarded as a statistical tie.
