    I thought this was an interesting story that made the top of the drudgereport page.

    Can someone explain to me why this voting glitch is such a big deal? Why do ppl need the tally board to form their position (as David Dreyer said in the article)?

    I know absolutely nothing about how Congress works.

    Can't they just revote (as the Dems suggested)? Or just tally the votes from the other computers (as a GOP suggested)?

    Not really interested in conspiracy theories, etc.
