Red, White & Screwed - Will Your Vote Count?


Red, White & Screwed

Will Your Vote Count?

You only thought the 2000 Florida election was a disaster.

Get ready for 2006.

Chads will be replaced by DREs among dirty words in the state's election system.

In case you don't know yet, and you will, DREs stands for Direct Recording Electronic voting systems. It's a fancy term for touch-screen voting machines.


Susan Pynchon, along with thousands of other voting rights activists across the state, plans to wave "Don't Touch the Touch Screens" signs at polling sites in Volusia County where she lives and votes.

"It's just like science fiction, except it's real," says Pynchon, Florida Fair Elections Coalition executive director. "Touch screens pose a risk to our democracy and nation that our Founding Fathers never contemplated. The machines are a huge, huge problem."
