I agree that we need to do more to guarantee the accuracy of our voting system. Not only Florida, but a number of state results (and the nationwide total) are probably well within their margins of error and would not hold up well under close scrutiny.

I am afraid that the problems won't go away with the adoption of any system currently used. Computer voting has appeal until one considers how easy it has been for amateurs to hack supposedly invincible computers. Imagine the results of organized mayhem by one or more parties (or interested outsiders - foreign or domestic).

Absentee balloting, such as in Oregon, has its appeal, but is easily manipulated. There have been a number of cases in a number of states in recent years where it has been shown that absentee ballots were fraudulently obtained and cast.
