Taking steps to count every vote in Florida

Encouraging news from Florida's Miami Herald today—an Atlanta federal appeals court has ordered a Florida court to hear a lawsuit demanding paper receipts for touch-screen voting in that state. And, in even better news, Florida elections officials plan to reinstate manual recounts for close elections regardless of the lawsuit's outcome.

A federal appeals court in Atlanta reversed a lower-court judge and ordered him to hear a lawsuit that demands voters be given paper receipts when they use touch-screen voting machines so there is a paper trail in a close election.
State officials said Monday that they will now draw up an emergency rule requiring touch-screen counties to do manual recounts in close elections—a startling turnaround, because the state fought for months to bar such recounts.

A few brave people doing what needs to be done- hope their life insurance policies are up to date.
