Politics: voting irregularities found all over the South

A national voting rights group said Friday it documented hundreds of voting irregularities affecting poor and minority voters in seven Southern states — from long lines and faulty equipment to deliberate voter intimidation.

Without trying to imply necessarily that these irregularities affected the outcome of the election, we HAVE to do better in the future. It shouldn't be THAT impossible to have a reliable national election, especially in an electoral system that puts emphasis on many potentially close races. When the irregularities seem to affect one demographic of voter, that seems even worse.
