The county will receive $1.9 million from the state to replace those disco-era Votomatics with shiny new optical-scan machines (think lottery ticket machines...

...know disco has always taken a lot of heat - hedonistic lyrics, monotonous beats, too gay by half - but look at the context. I mean, the Eagles? At least disco was still moving. Rock had crawled into those dry L.A. riverbeds and died. The gays of New York were leading the way, opening a door that led to raves, techno, jungle, ambient, and a host of other styles that still dominate nightlife and creative recording...
