Speaking of the civilized society of Florida: Florida Legislators Approve an Election Reform Package. (NY Times, registration required.) Florida has actually held hearings, passed a law that establishes procedures and recount standards ... and all in seven months. Less if you realize that through the end of 2000, they weren't focused on actually doing anything about the problem as yet. (Curiously, you can't find this story on the Miami Herald site. At least, I couldn't.)
Meanwhile, at the national level, we've had a studied silence on the issue from George II Fraudulency and Congress.
