I recall reading in another forum here that some of the old voting machines had an issue where if the inner counter strips a gear, the voting count stops at
99, and all votes after that are wasted.
This just goes back to "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," and the wisdom of pencil 'n paper.
Edit: Just had an odd thought. Do you think Malcolm McDowell in Fallout 3 as "President John Henry Eden" is meant as a backhanded reference to the
unreliability of the electronic voting machine? His rant about how he got elected is a really nice touch.
