Looks like Florida’s 2004 voting is now in question:

An examination of Palm Beach County’s electronic voting machine records
from the 2004 election found possible tampering and tens of thousands of
malfunctions and errors, a watchdog group said Thursday.

Bev Harris, founder of BlackBoxVoting.org, said the findings call into
question the outcome of the presidential race. But county officials and the
maker of the electronic voting machines strongly disputed that and took
issue with the findings.

Voting problems would have had to have been widespread across the state
to make a difference. President Bush won Florida — and its 27 electoral
votes — by 381,000 votes in 2004. Overall, he defeated John Kerry by 286 to
252 electoral votes, with 270 needed for victory.

BlackBoxVoting.org, which describes itself as a nonpartisan, nonprofit
citizens group, said it found 70,000 instances in Palm Beach County of cards
getting stuck in the paperless ATM-like machines and that the computers
logged about 100,000 errors, including memory failures.

How much more will have to happen before we get a full national
investigation? This is getting crazy and the federal government just remains
silent on the issue. Apparently they don’t take pride in a democracy as much as
we do.
