I find it rather odd that most of the places with malfunctions, were the predominatly democratic areas of the state...
Odd...or predictable considering the lowest common denominator to which the Democrats cater heavily to?

First these freaking morons can't figure out how to use a butterfly ballot they've used for like 10 years and now they can't figure out how to turn on the freaking voting machines.

You reap what you sow when you deliberately appeal to demographics like this.

Apparently in Miami-Dade and Broward counties some machines worked, others didn't. Some precinct workers even failed to show up at all and that's disgraceful but that's government in action.

On the plus side I heard when voters were able to use the new machines they worked well and were idiot-proof.

I think it would be pretty hard to f**k up the schools any more than Jeb has.... I woulda voted for reno...

Jeb Bush didn't hire Ron Zook. Or did he? ;)

We are going to have to decide between Libby Dole and an aide from the Clinton staff to replace Jesse Helms...

Reno planned to file suit in state court while the ACLU was filing suit in federal court, both aimed at extending voting by two hours in select counties.
bah, do it state-wide or don't do it at all.

What, you mean Erskine Bowles? He's a little more than a Clinton aide, he was Chief of Staff before the scandals occured. Unlike Dole, he actually takes a stand on issues.
