Voting in 2008: A Report by Common Cause and the Century Foundation
As election officials brace for record-breaking voter turnout on
Election Day, a close examination of voting preparedness in 10 swing
states shows that significant problems in the basic functions of the
American election administration system persist, and in a few cases
have worsened over the last few years, a new report by Common Cause and
The Century Foundation shows.
The report, “Voting in 2008: 10 Swing States,” examined what, if any,
progress has been made since 2006 in seven battleground states:
Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
In addition, Colorado, New Mexico and Virginia, whose new status as
likely swing states, and the potential for election administration
difficulties, have also been included.
See state-by-state charts detailing voter registration, voter
identification, caging and challenges, deceptive practices, provisional
ballots, voting machine allocation, poll worker recruitment and
training, voter education and student voting rights.
