I just don't enjoy being lumped in with California. Even I wouldn't choose to live there.

Thousands of military absentee votes were the subject of invalidation efforts by Democratic lawyers in Florida in 2000.

None of the objections I am aware of were based on substantive issues, but centered on technicalities.
