It's something we definitely don't want over here this year, so hopefully Florida got their act together. In the 2000 presidential election, the state of Florida (who's governor at the time was Jeb Bush, brother of our illustrious president) was still using punch card ballots. The race was so close that a recount was demanded and many ballots were disqualified because of "hanging chads" or incompletely punched ballots. A lot of ballots were either miscounted or disqualified and utimately GWB ended up with the count, getting all of Fla's electoral votes and winning the election. It made Florida the laughing stock of the nation, and cost Al Gore (who actually won the popular vote) the election. Sad. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/presidentbush/2008/10/chads-to-go.html

Interesting! |
