and so many people in the news were saying that the voting machines were unreliable and so many were promicing recounts and court battles ahead of time, why has no action been taken since?

Just be patient Karl, hopefully, things will move to help our votes really be our votes. In the meantime, I put a link in that may interest you.

Well, simply because 1) voting irregularities are investigated, but someone has to report them first; if no one noticed, than the states aren't obligated to check every single voting machine they own
2) even contesting a few races where a few votes can make a difference (which both parties are doing, i.e. OH-15) wouldn't affect the overall outcome of the election, and thus would just be a pretty big waste of party money (for lawyers and such).

It has, and is being taken, 7 out of nine races still undecided.
These things take time.
Computer voting is greatly flawed. Look to the administrations that adopted this method.

because its all a sham. Whoever pays the Dibold company the most will win teh next elections too.
The machines are unreliable because they are easy to hack and therefore anyone who has access to them can make the votes do whatever they want them to do.
