One reason is that this is a potential violation of voter privacy. Another
reason was that this courteous ballot-checking wasn't in place in Florida in
2002, so the "whining" you decry was in fact a reasonable (and legally
responsible) objection to possibly inadequate voting procedures. Additionally,
many ballot-punching machines don't grant the voter a chance to review the
ballot before it's dumped in the box.
