HeadlineApr 26, 2004

The Scripps Howard News Service has found that at least 1.6 million voters went to the polls during the 2000 election here in the United States only to cast a ballot for president that was not registered. Florida’s problems drew the most attention where 178,000 ballots were not counted but Scripps Howard found seven other states had a higher percentage of un-counted ballots. They were Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Wyoming.
