Technological glitches disrupt GOP pitch for high-tech voting system
http://www.minnpost.com/stories/2011/02/03/25478/technological_glitches_disrupt_gop_pitch_for_high-tech_voting_system

By Doug Grow | Thursday, Feb. 3, 2011



Rep. Mary Kiffmeyer, R-Big Lake, was going on and on this morning about the need to pull the Minnesota voting system “into the 21st Century.”

As part of her massive bill that includes the controversial provision requiring voters to have a photo ID, Kiffmeyer proposes that an electronic roster would be far better than the current system of voters signing in on Election Day.

The idea: “Swipe a card” and vote. snip

Kiffmeyer nodded to the man seated next to her to start the video.

He hit a button.

Nothing happened.

He hit more buttons, but still no video showed up on the big screens in the hearing room.
