We're not the only country with bad voting machines!

I just found this snippet from the article amusing

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/venezuela-vote-triggers-deadly-war-in-the-streets/ar-AAp4nVf?li=BBnbcA1

- Maduro vote glitch -


Maduro kicked off voting by casting his ballot in a west Caracas polling station.

"I'm the first voter in the country. I ask God for his blessings so the people can freely exercise their democratic right to vote," the president said. He was accompanied by his wife, Cilia Flores, a candidate for the new assembly.

He got a technological snub when he scanned his ID card at the polling station and the screen spit out the words, "This person does not exist or the ID was cancelled."
