Choices are being made over what design the Washington State Quarter should have. Washington’s official quarter is expected to be released by the U.S. Mint in March 2007. An online public poll was set up so people could vote for their favorite of the remaining designs (displayed below) online. The idea went backward when robotic computer programs stuffed the online ballot boxes. (See Seattlepi article: Ballots stuffed in online vote on state quarter design.) Technicians are reworking the Web site’s computer code, and hope to restore the poll sometime today.
