FLORIDA 2000 SEQUEL

For those of you concerned that Florida hasn't cleaned up its election act since 2000, YOUR RIGHT! Well, according former president Jimmy Carter, anyway. Here's a quote from an article over at the BBC News website:

Voting arrangements in Florida do not meet "basic international requirements" and could undermine the US election, former US President Jimmy Carter says.

He said a repeat of the irregularities of the much-disputed 2000 election - which gave President George W Bush the narrowest of wins - "seems likely".

Mr Carter, a veteran observer of polls worldwide, also accused Florida's top election official of "bias".

Isn't that great? This on top of the electronic ballot boxes being used in some states bodes incredibly well for the Bush campaign, but incredibly bad for anyone interested in seeing a fair election--which should be BOTH Kerry and Bush supporters.
