		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>Such questions must be answered so that all voters can have faith in the integrity of the system.</blockquote>

We would add to the Courant's concern in this obvious and difficult situation, that part of the cure is more attention to detail ahead of time and in every election, this close or not. Learning from experience and reducing the odds of lingering questions. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Given the many members, the brief meetings, and the lack of representation of all interests, we were skeptical when the Task Force was convened. To our delight, we find that we can offer endorsement of each of the twenty-one recommendations in the report.

There is a lot to do in all the recommendations. It will take time, money, and deliberate work with everyone at the table. Our hope is that each of the recommendations will be thoroughly explored, evaluated, and acted upon, that none get overlooked.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Laws and procedures which are not enforced for elections in the name of "trust us" and "it would be too much work", are no more real than the laws and Constitutional provisions ignored in the name of national security. "It is time to learn from this recount, fix the problems it uncovered and ensure that future elections are different."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Wisconsin Supreme Court election recount started this week. The margin was a bit over 7,000 votes and the percentage just under 0.5% as required by law. John Nichols writes of past instances where the loser asked for recounts in much wider margins and of cases with relatively close margins where the original result was overturned]]></description>
