Jimmy Carter fears for fair Florida vote
By North America correspondent John Shovelan
Former US President Jimmy
Carter says conditions for a fair election still do not exist in the
state of Florida.
In an article in the Washington Post, Mr Carter wrote Florida's electoral
officials have proven to be highly partisan.
He says Florida's Republican governor Jeb
Bush, a strong supporter of his brother George W Bush, has taken no steps
to correct this and "some basic international requirements for a fair
election are missing".
He says it was obvious that in the election in 2000 that basic standards
were not met and the disturbing fact is that a repetition of the problems
seems likely.
The 2000 vote was ultimately decided by the US Supreme Court, which stopped
the recount of contested ballots.
Mr Carter founded the Carter
Centre in 1982, which monitors elections worldwide.

Is that good enough for you guys?
Or does Carter lack credibility because he is a "dummycrat"?
