Yesterday, I posted on some problems people were having in West Virginia when they tried to vote Obama only to watch their votes switch to McCain (read my post here: http://thepete.com/…es-in-w-va ) but who else is talking about voting problems today?
CNN.com may be covering Florida's attempts to get things right this time around (here: http://www.cnn.com/…index.html ) but generally, the mainstream media seems to be ignoring the issue of voting problems. Even CNN.com looked like it had a video about the story up, but after looking at their Florida story, I went back to watch the video but it was gone. I even went to their video page and couldn't find it. Meanwhile, here are some other sites that are posting about voting problems:

This next headline is my favorite:
Voting Machines Switch Votes; Officials Blame Voters

Yeah, because touchscreen voting machines ARE SO TRICKY. Don't insult our intelligence and suggest that people are rock-stupid enough to not be able to touch a box on a screen.
Here's a cool, interactive map that shows you just how hackable each state's vote is:
