So Justin Fenton is reporting that several voting disks did not make it over from the polling places and are locked away. Wow this sounds really fishy.

I was surprised to find out that the cards that you put in the machine don't record votes, they just reset the voting program on the machines but the machines keep the vote. Then at the end of the night election judges print out a receipt of the results off of each machine and then the machines go to HQ where each one's memory card has to be taken out and read by a tabulating machine. Which I guess uses floppy disks(!!)

Didn't the State of Maryland spend millions of dollars on those so-called "state of the art" voting machines? It sounds like they could've done a better job with plain old optical scan paper ballots.

BTW, all precincts are in and it looks like Bernstein has won! It's not 100% over, but Jessamy would need something like a 2:1 advantage in absentee ballots to pull ahead.
