As If It Never Happened

In the 2002 Democratic Gubernatorial Primary, Janet Reno lost to Bill McBride, by 4794 votes, in the first election using electronic voting machines (ones which lacked an audit paper trail). The ACLU found that 8 percent of votes cast in that election -- about 1544 -- were lost on the touch-screen machines.

So the Miami-Dade Election Reform Coalition asked for all the records
taken during the election by those electronic machines.
Turns out, all those records were accidentally erased.
