Good idea! Florida is unable to run state elections so someone must do it for the people in the State. Jeb Bush can't do it.

Will your vote count in 2002? On Tuesday, September 10, citizens of Florida faced a familiar sight: long lines at the polls, machines that didn't work, and poorly trained poll workers. The problems experienced by Florida voters on Tuesday were a result of the failures of Florida Governor Jeb Bush and the Republican-controlled Florida legislature, who didn't adhere to the recommendations made by the U.S. Supreme Court in the wake of the 2000 elections. Just last year, Jeb Bush took credit for election reforms, claiming "we have built a system that will be the envy of the nation." In its first test, Bush's reforms proved a dismal failure. It's time for Governor Bush to take responsibility for the voting problems occurring in Florida. But voting problems aren't limited to Florida. Republicans in the U.S. Congress are working to scuttle an important election reform bill that would protect the voting rights of Americans all across the country. These election reform obstructionists are encouraged by a do-nothing Bush administration, which refuses to stand up for these vital election reforms.
