And we in Greensboro are still waiting to hear details about what was only ever reported as a "corrected" voting machine problem here. Maybe reporters have invetigated it and found it to be of no consequence; still, it would be nice for the rest of us to know just what happened that caused, as I recall, 6,000 to 20,000 Guilford County votes to be "affected."

Roch: your passion for the topic is obvious. As I've written on this blog before, the problems with Guilford County's machines were a reporting error, not a case of lost votes.
To be brutally honest: that story has taken a back seat to others that are (or have been) more pressing.
