In election news, former President Jimmy Carter is warning that voting arrangments in Florida do not meet “basic international requirements” and could undermine the presidential election. Carter, who has monitored elections around the world, accused Florida of not implementing the necessary changes following the 2000 election. He said, “It is unconscionable to perpetuate fraudulent or biased electoral practices in any nation.” Carter noted that the state recently tried to disqualify 22,000 African Americas becaused they were allegedly felons. He added, “With reforms unlikely at this late stage of the election, perhaps the only recourse will be to focus maximum public scrutiny on the suspicious process in Florida.”
