Not the pillowfight type, but rather sleepovers in which elections workers in 23 of Ohio's 88 counties keep voting machines stored in their homes, workplaces or cars shortly before election day to reduce the cost and hassle of getting them to polling places.
The longstanding practice did not "ensure the security of all voting equipment" and must end, Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner told elections directors Tuesday.
This is insane. These are supposed to be secure machines and we're storing them in people's houses? Oh, it's great that they're not going to do that anymore, but it's a little too late.
Think of this as a story telling you that the USMC are supervising the transport of a dozen tactical thermonuclear weapons from a parking garage off DuPont Circle to a more permanent storage facility at Edwards Airforce Base.
Instead they will be keeping them in a KBR warehouse.
