Time: It is hard to believe now what a darling touchscreen voting was seven years ago. After the Florida presidential vote-recount debacle, electronic-voting was embraced as the way back from America's electoral humiliation. Some 50,000 touchscreen machines were bought in 37 states at a cost of almost a quarter of a billion dollars. The reversal since then couldn't be more stunning — as indicated by a Congressional bill, introduced recently by Florida Sen. Bill Nelson and Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, which would ban touchscreen voting in federal elections starting in 2012.
