<<Every voting booth should have a PC. The voter should be able to touch a simple Enter Key to cast his or her
vote.>>

The price of PCs continues to drop. And no one knows what type of inexpensive network appliance will be on the market in 2004. Also, the 100-year old voting booths should be replaced.

In any case, I imagine the Justice Department will send officials in to watch the Florida vote in the next election!
I bet in Seminole County, the election officials won't be allowed to invite Republicans in to fill out absentee ballots as they did in this past election, according to PBS last night. This report was also published in The New York Times on Nov. 22:

NYTimes, (Page A20) says Gore is concerned not only about the butterfly ballots but about "a high error rate
among Democratic minority voters in some counties, and the practice of allowing Republican workers in Seminole County to correct applications for absentee ballots by Republicans." (ggg)

The 2000 US Presidential Election has been the best TV entertainment that I've seen in a very long time! We laugh and laugh when we watch the evening news! The Florida Farce is especially good entertainment.

Cheers,
