Vote count news on FL and MO from electoral-vote.com

Good news on the voting front: A Florida judge has ruled that Florida law requires a manual recount under certain circumstances. The touch-screen voting machines currently in use in Florida do not have this capability and thus violate the law. The Florida secretary of state, Glenda Hood, is fighting this ruling. If it is upheld on appeal, the voting procedure will have to be changed in a number of counties. Could this be the first of many Supreme Court cases this year?

Bad news on the voting front: The Missouri secretary of state, has decided to allow Missouri soliders in Iraq to vote by e-mail. The National Committee for Voting Integrity has condemned this decision as too sensitive to fraud. Also, the secrecy of the vote has been called into question. If a solider knows that his commanding officer might see how he voted, that might influence who he votes for.

2. Glenda Hood was picked by Jeb to replace Katherine Harris.

Harris got elected to Congress, so now it is up to Hood to somehow steal the election for Bush this year. Having a judge rule that a paper trail is required is going to make it harder for her to rig the voting machines IMO. So far we have seen state troopers visiting the homes of elderly black voters in the Orlando area, to question them about their voting, and to intimidate them. I will be much surprised if we have an honest election in Florida.
