Lost in all the petty bickering about Ohio’s presidential election is the continuing problem with residual, or “lost” votes in that race. Residual votes occur when over- or under-votes occur, which means either more than one candidate was selected or no candidate was selected. The biggest problem is selection of more than one candidate. And the solution to that problem is electronic voting.

In Ohio, about 96,000 ballots did not have a vote for president, most of them because more than one candidate was selected. A wire story in the Rep noted that nearly 77,000 of the 96,000 residual ballots in Ohio were punch cards. Electronic voting machines, such as the one made by Diebold, do not allow selection of more than one candidate for president. The machine will tell you the problem, and you can correct it....
