AFAICS, neither of the major .us parties are really
adequately promoting measures that would result in
an accurate vote count. The suspected deficienies
in voting machine software is only one aspect of this,
but this issue was raised well before Nov. 2004.
And laxity in this area seems to be pandemic. Vide
Tony Blair's acquiescence in unregulated mail-in votes.
(As reported by Theodore Dalrymple in IIRC CityJournal.)
