Vote Save Error #9 [nickstech.com]

Vote Save Error #9. It could be a hoax. As discussed on another blog, I'm unsure which is scarier - that there are at least 8 other types of vote save errors, or that the voting machine uses the "Chicago" font.

If it were to eventuate that the electronic voting software was written in Hypercard I'm not sure whether it would be dumbfoundingly stupid, or sublimely cool... (Has anyone ported Hypercard to Linux yet?!)

A related site, blackboxvoting.com has people writing in their voting experinces. It's not pretty.

I really appreciate the simplicity of Australia's paper voting system. But then there's not quite so many of us to count ;)

Not a hoax

Vote Save Error #9 was not a hoax. I'm absolutely sure of that because I took the picture.
