FOCUS: The Recount Accounts

[NVMojo]

interesting summary of election trouble:

"Improved processes and technology were supposed to prevent a rerun of the Florida 2000 election debacle.

Instead, in 2004, complaints have multiplied. Ohio, New Mexico, Nevada, Washington state and San Diego, Calif., are rife with accusations of irregularities, and the discoveries of lost and undercounted votes.

Protesters face an uphill battle to get recounts underway. The Electoral College has already met and voted for George W. Bush, and efforts in some states have been stymied by costs and legal wrangling.

It's more than the presidential vote that's in question: In San Diego, now called "Enron by the Sea" for its financial mismanagement, a surfer-activist is battling over 5,000 contested ballots that could tip the election."
