More Electronic Voting Woes: UniLect Corporation
After their votes being lost November 2 we'll probably be able to add several thousand angry voters in North Carolina to those pesky "pounders and screamers" Jack Gerbel, UniLect company president, seems to have had such harsh words for.

Humbled?
The breaking news stance that some bloggers adopted on November 2 might cause a few of them to eat a little humble pie, but my guess is that the majority of bloggers wouldn't have done their reporting any other way. Traditional media reporting was a bit more tame this year after past criticism that media announced election winners too quickly, sometimes getting results very wrong. Now I'm wondering if the attention blogs got for doing the same thing in this election will result in traditional media jumping back into the game next time. And humble pie isn't too hard to swallow when that next urge to get a scoop makes it an a la mode kind of experience.
