Yet another report about a technology fix to the 2000 President Election
fiasco in Florida.
The report says it cost about $10 per voter in 2000.
U.S.A. Gross Domestic Product per person in 2000 -- $36,174
Survey of Current Business, May 2001, p. D-28.
For some amusement, see the eyeball on p. 22 of the pdf report (looking at
one of the infamous punchcard chad ballots in Florida using a very large
magnifying glass).
What price Democracy ???
One can only imagine what will happen in various *reports* if there are
*serious* efforts to get reform election methods for legislative bodies (i.e.
proportional representation) and/or executive/judicial offices (i.e. one or
more of the methods mentioned on this list).
