in Florida

"Early voting" began today in Florida (among other states).
So did the problems.

See:

        http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=176059

which reads in part:

        WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. Oct. 18, 2004 -- With memories of 2000
        and the state's bitter fight over ballots still fresh,
        Floridians began casting votes Monday and within an hour
        problems cropped up.

        In Palm Beach County, the center of the madness during the
        recount four years ago, a Democratic state legislator said she
        wasn't given a complete absentee ballot when she asked to opt
        for paper instead of the electronic touch-screen machines.
        Several voting sites in Broward County had problems with
        laptops connected to elections headquarters. And a brief
        computer system crash in Orange County paralyzed voting in
        Orlando and its immediate suburbs.
