"While Florida is considered one of the most improved states in election reform, New York stands out as the worst, according to Chapin"
Makes you wonder who the hell this guy Chapin is doesn’t it John?
Florida a perfect example??? Of corruption!
Lets MAKE SURE HAVA is delayed, as that is the main problem…I’m sure everybody could adopt disabled ready devices like AutoMark, and vote pad and onward……IF HAVA wasn’t breathing down their necks. Slow them all down.

I was just wondering if you heard what happened on todays Ohio reVote? Maybe its still too early?
One thing that can be said about Florida: There is a lot to improve.
It remains to be seen whether any real headway has been made. I have my doubts.
Interesting facts concerning the directors of the Associated Press ("AP", link here).
That link to Pokey’s pos may help to explain why the MSM is unwilling to mention voter fraud.
Would you agree that, if Ken Blackwell were elected governor, Ohio would be run in a more honest and transparent manner?
Jose
You must be completely out of your mind. Blackwell is under investigation by Grand Juries, broke the law, and is a handler for the neocons. There isn’t a fucking day where he would lead or create a transparent election.
This is the same guy who was in bed with Thomas Noe to steal and wreck Kerry’s plausible victory in Ohio….don’t even go there.

"If I could have nailed Blackwell, I would have," Seminatore told WND. "Believe me, I looked hard, but Blackwell is clean."
Noe’s wife Bernadette was an elections official in Lucas County Ohio, an area that experienced extreme voting difficulties during the 2004 election, causing Secretary of State Ken Blackwell to ask for her resignation. [Toledo Blade, 7/7/05]
