LA Election workers take a page from Washington State’s recent election debacle. Instead of using black pens they are re-marking their ballots using highlighter pens so that the counting machines could read ones that were too faint. Even though the InkaVote system is supposed to be able to pick up faint marks.

“I’ve never heard of anything like this before,” said Bob Stern, president of the Center for Governmental Studies. “It’s unprecedented. You don’t tamper with the ballots.”

I’m sure that my fellow Washington State voters wish that our election workers had used hilighter pens. Instead they went ahead and filled in the ballots themselves.
