Election Reform

Congress must ensure that the American election system is the most accurate and fair in the world; on Election Day 2000, it was not. Thousands of Floridians lost their right to vote because of a breakdown in our electoral system, a misleading and confusing ballot, and a tragic decision by the US Supreme Court that put politics above the Constitution. Fixing the election system in America must continue to be a top national priority. Our goal must be to count votes -- not suppress them -- to open the system to all voters -- not intimidate them. We must commit the money, resources, and energy to fix our election process once and for all.

Since November 2000, election procedures in Florida have been revolutionized with many of our counties using electronic touch-screen voting machines. I have strongly favored replacing punch-card balloting with this new technology. I am pleased that Congress passed the Help America Vote Act (Public Law 107-252), which is providing an infusion of $650 million of election assistance money to the states. (Florida's share is $26 million).

Nice work, catching Wexler like that. It looks like he doesn't know his positions on machines any better than his Buchanan Brigadiers know how to vote!

Personally, I always thought Wexler was right. The botched voting in PBC probably DID cost Gore the State. Too bad, losers.
