Inquiry Finds Problems From 2000 Election Persisting Four Years Later

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Many of the voting and counting mishaps of the bizarre 2000 general election were not fixed four years later and brand new problems arose, including a rash of fraudulent voter registrations in some areas, congressional investigators say. A study of the 2004 election by the Government Accountability Office concludes that paper ballots continued to be used extensively by small jurisdictions, many polling places struggled to manage heavy early voting, and new federal requirements for voter identification were applied unevenly by local officials across the country. The GAO released the study Thursday.

Is there a statute of limitations on election fraud?

Isn't there something we can do about all of this? Are there any organizations trying to do something about it that we can join? I mean, if we're screwed as bad as this sounds, what is the point in showing up on election day?

opposite. read closely. voter fraud no, I dont think so. That is the republican callout to say it is the bad voters who try to vote twice. That ahs jsut been happening everywhere. Voters are an untrustworthy bunch. Diebold, on the other hand, should always be trusted, as should the repub secretaries of state...
paper ballots still being used is cited as a problem......
I'm not liking this particular report. It seems to suggest let's get HAVA compliant quick...

Computers don't lie and can't be manipulated. Honest.

Be gone with your distractionary media tactics!

WASHINGTON (AP) -

Many of the voting and counting mishaps of the bizarre 2000 general election were not fixed four years later and brand new problems arose, including a rash of fraudulent voter registrations in some areas, congressional investigators say.

A study of the 2004 election by the Government Accountability Office concludes that paper ballots continued to be used extensively by small jurisdictions, many polling places struggled to manage heavy early voting and new federal requirements for voter identification were applied unevenly by local officials across the country. The GAO released the study Thursday.

Altogether, 41 states were granted extra time to meet federal requirements to build statewide voter registration lists, meaning most such lists were not in place for the 2004 vote.

New problems cropped up in 2004. Ambitious get-out-the-vote drives swamped officials with the task of checking applications with their backs against registration deadlines. Incomplete addresses, fictional names and questionable signatures showed up.
