This morning, in a local news article on NPR, the anchor said something like this:

Centre County has decided to replace their touch screen voting machines with optical scanning voting machines. Critics believe that the touch screen voting machines lack a paper trail.

No. Critics don't believe that they lack a paper trail, these machines DO lack a paper trail. The manufacturers state it quite clearly.

Critics think that the lack of a paper trail could potentially be exploited to steal an election.

But that's the state of media today, instead of debating something based on the facts they actually confuse the facts so that the public can't even get informed.
