Florida pushes to avoid 2000 election scandal

Florida has decided to invest in expensive state-of-the-art electronic voting machines in a bid to avoid the fiasco caused in 2000 when the election was 'rigged' as the man to announce the state winner obviously declared his first cousin (George W Bush) as the new president without actually taking any votes into consideration.
With this new electronic system in operation certain activists are damanding for all machines to give out a reciept to voters to make it fair, even though recently it has been reported the machines have a software problem which affects the vote-counting and there is also a great security risk of hackers.

The world cannot afford another presidential disaster, let's just hope this time they get it right!!
