Hear ye, hear ye. The Republican legislature of Florida passes voting system reform, and mandates the use of manual recounts in contested elections. I love it. Seems like only yesterday that manual recounts were a diabolical Democratic invention useful only for the perversion of elections. From the New York Times, May 4: Florida Leaders Sign Agreement for Overhaul of Voting System By DANA CANEDY TALLAHASSEE, Fla., May 3 — "Six months after a chaotic election in Florida decided the protracted presidential race, state lawmakers have reached agreement on a bill that would do away with hanging chads, butterfly ballots and questions about determining voter intent." "It would also require that ballots in extremely close elections be recounted by hand — the very practice that Florida election officials and the Bush campaign had opposed so fiercely last year in their battle with Democrats who were insisting that manual recounts would tip the election to Al Gore."
