Several broken pieces added unnecessary drama to Election 2012.
One major cog in the wheel was our election system in some key states. Florida must take pride in embarrassing the country with it's election rules that had voters waiting three, five, even eight hours to vote. Long lines, insufficient voting supplies, untrained and partisan staff-all played a role in the shameful voting issues thanks to Florida Republican Governor Rick Scott. Ohio's Secretary of State Jon Huestad laid a trail while trying to suppress the vote in his state that warrants criminal prosecution. His fight to minimize early voting opportunities for the people in his state made the headlines in national news. he even took his fight to the Supreme Court, but those efforts failed.
