Constitution Lecture

the lecture focused a lot on the problems in Florida during the 2000 election. Much of what he discussed was not anything that I had not heard before: Florida's election was a mess, the polling was not fair, the computers didn't work, ect. What I did find interesting and a bit disturbing is that Florida was not the only state with these problems. In fact my own state Illinois is believed to have more inaccurate numbers on the vote, but since this inaccuracy was not large enough to effect the actual vote, no one noticed or made a fret about it. People cared about fair voting in Florida only when the race was close, had that not been the situation most of us would not care that there are serious flaws in our electoral system.
