A few days ago, I asked: What will Florida do to screw up this time? It wasn't a rhetorical question, and Florida didn't disappointment me. In Broward County, they misplaced 103,000 absentee votes. It turns out that the votes wouldn't have made a difference in the election, but that is hardly the point. What are those people in Florida doing, and why can't they stop doing it?

There is, of course, one correct answer that is both probable and frightening: that Florida is not alone, and that other states are better able to hide their failures to count votes.

But who cares? Not elibible voters. Only 53% of them showed up at the polls for the midterm elections, and I don't want to guess the percentage of that group who knew much about the issues.
