A Big Florida Mess

Just as meteorologists could predict the hurricanes' paths to Florida, bloggers and political scientists can foresee a protracted legal battle involving Florida's elections this November.

There is plenty of evidence to raise serious doubts about the Diebold-made electronic voting machines. Recall, Diebold's leaders have worked hard to get George Bush re-elected.

In 2000, there were poorly explained reasons why the numbers didn't add up. Some claimed outright fraud.

Supporters of these machines say they are much better. Indeed, they are being used in another important swing state, Ohio. Critics say that will only lead to more problems.

Diebold insists their machines are accurate and election-ready. Yet, more news has surfaced on missing votes from these allegedly accurate vote counters. Unfortunately for us, this isn't from the 2000 debacle, but from just last week.

Vote By Mail. It's the best way.
