It could happen all over again… Jimmy Carter (still going strong) expressed his concerns about the continuing deficiencies in Florida’s electoral system this week in the Washington Post. What’s worst, it appears that these these gaps may be the result of deliberate neglect by state authorities who have a vested interest in a certain outcome in November:

“The disturbing fact is that a repetition of the problems of 2000 now seems likely, even as many other nations are conducting elections that are internationally certified to be transparent, honest and fair….

…It was obvious that in 2000 these basic standards were not met in Florida, and there are disturbing signs that once again, as we prepare for a presidential election, some of the state’s leading officials hold strong political biases that prevent necessary reforms.”

Bring in the UN observers !
