“The simple fact according to the Caltech-MIT study is that nationwide the No. 1 voting system which voided ballots cast for President in the year 2000 was the punchcard system. There was no other system as bad as the punchcard system for taking away a person's right to vote for President in the year 2000. That is a fact. They conclude 300,000 Americans went to vote for President and their votes were not counted on punchcard systems, but would have been on other systems such as optical scan. Punchcard systems didn't work as well. They spoiled their ballots. To suggest there is no problem defies the obvious statistical information in evidence we have been given.”
