Senator Wants Probe Into Fla. Election

SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) -- Sen. Dianne Feinstein on Wednesday called for an investigation into the electronic touch-screen voting machines used in a disputed congressional race in Florida.

Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Rules Committee, said that problems with the machines in last year's elections were most serious in the Sarasota area district, where about 18,000 ballots cast on the touch-screen machines didn't record a vote for Congress.

"At this time, officials have been unable to account for what happened to these votes because there is no independent record," said Feinstein, D-Calif.

The voting machines did not leave paper records of the results between Democratic candidate Christine Jennings and Republican Vern Buchanan.

Jennings contends the machines lost the votes and is challenging the 369-vote victory by Buchanan in the race to succeed former Rep. Katherine Harris. Jennings has filed a lawsuit in state court and a complaint with Congress. The House has seated Buchanan pending the outcome of the challenge.

1. If we keep revealing the corruption of these machines

Soon we may not even have to impeach, we can just invalidate the damned election. Oh, wait. Then the Supreme Court would have to admit it committed treason or some crime like that. Too bad.
