GOP Tells Floridians to Avoid Touchscreens and Vote Absentee

HeadlineAug 02, 2004

The state Republican Party in Florida has begun warning Republican voters to vote by absentee ballot in November because of concerns over the reliability of touch screen voting machines. The party recently distributed a flyer that read “The new electronic voting machines do not have a paper ballot to verify your vote in case of a recount. Make sure your vote counts. Order your absentee ballot today.” Governor Jeb Bush and President Bush’s campaign have both distanced themselves from the warning.
