13 September 2002 - Florida election
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
voter: This is an unmitigated disaster! We spent tens of
millions to correct election problems, and once again there are
tens of millions of problems!
election official: I know. I’m sorry. We only had three
months to choose new machines and train everyone, and it wasn’t
enough to work the last kinks out.
voter: I don’t think you got any kinks out, and you had
two years.
election official: Oh... well, that’s not bad. I was only
off by a factor of two. That’s not really my fault.
voter: Oh, no? Whose, then?
election official: It’s your fault! In this county, the
election supervisor is elected.
voter: Hmm, and what about the judges?
