US voting activists who fear an "electoral train wreck" worse than
Florida 2000 if electronic ballot machines are allowed to determine
the outcome of November's presidential election, are claiming a
breakthrough victory after the scandal-ridden resignation of one of
the country's most outspoken e-voting apologists.
After years denying theevidence that touchscreen voting machines were
unreliable and prone to tampering, the registrar of voters in
Riverside County, California, Mischelle Townsend, suddenly announced
her retirement - supposedly to spend more time with her family.
