Trial ordered in Fla. e-ballot lawsuit

Trial ordered in Fla. e-ballot lawsuit

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Just five weeks before Election Day, a federal appeals court Monday revived a lawsuit demanding that all Florida voters who use touchscreen machines receive a paper receipt, in case a recount becomes necessary.

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals told a federal judge in Fort Lauderdale to reopen the case, which could affect 15 Florida counties whose electronic voting terminals do not issue paper records.

It was not immediately clear if the case could be decided before the Nov. 2 presidential election.

1. Thank GOD for the Court of Appeals!!! We have one sane judge left?

After bush and asskrotch have stacked the bench with nazis, it's nice to hear about one of the good guys/gals still having some sanity!

If they make the votes in Florida count for REAL, the election is Kerry's.
