Ballot Verification
Re “Flawed Florida Touch Screens Draw Scrutiny,” Aug. 6: That four years after the election debacle in Florida, officials have succeeded only in replacing hanging chads with unreliable touch screens is beyond scandalous. If the Supreme Court has any hope of restoring its credibility, it should demand that by Nov. 2 every state prepare paper ballots that can be read by optical scanners and verified thereafter. To do otherwise is to demean everything we stand for.
