It is going to be an interesting fall.
from today's Washington Post - about the Florida elections:
"Constance Kaplan, director of the largest elections office in the state, spent the day trying to explain why the 2002 election data that she had been telling everyone were irretrievably lost were not lost after all. In fact, the data -- audits of the troubled 2002 governor's primary and general election -- were on a computer disk in a folder among "books and bookcases and old reports" in the conference room next to her office.

"It's like watching Laurel and Hardy," said Bobbie Brinegar, president of the Miami-Dade County League of Women Voters. "I don't know why anyone needs to watch these reality TV shows; they could just as easily watch voting issues in Florida."
