Has Florida learned nothing?
One would think that, given the national embarrassment that stemmed from Florida’s handling of the 2000 elections, it would have made every effort to set an example this year by improving their system, but no. The election news coming out of Florida makes me think that the state should be excluded from the national election until it gets its act together.
Following the disastrous 2000 election snafu, Florida faces another debacle—this time over a database that’s supposed to keep felons from voting. But it also contains thousands of names of people who have every right to vote, critics say.
New ‘Hiccup’ for Florida Voters
The Sunshine State’s election controversies continue to unfold: Now the state admits that a number of e-voting machines have a software flaw that makes manual recounting impossible.
Really, why bother even having an election? Why not just declare Bush the winner in Florida right now? Then we can spend the money that would otherwise go to this pathetic, half-assed election effort on more important things, like tax cuts!
Why on earth would the current rulers of Florida want to change anything? Bushes are beyond embarrassment. They like having a banana republic there, and if that means that the contempt of the whole of the civilized world, that doesn’t matter.
