	Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the Spanish Congress of Deputies
		A decisive factor in the election was the split of the center-right electorate between the PP and the PAR, which allowed the Socialists to prevail in all three constituencies.
		In the 1993 general election in Madrid, this legal requirement resulted in the exclusion of the Social Democratic Center (CDS) ticket from the constituency apportionment process, as the party - which lost all its seats in the election - fell 438 votes short of the three percent threshold.
		This system was drastically altered by the 1982 elections, in which the Socialists, led by Felipe González, won a sweeping victory with 202 seats in Congress, out of 350; AP became the major opposition party, while the UCD collapsed; the PCE also lost considerable ground in the election.

	People For the American Way - Reality Check: Election System Still Fundamentally Flawed
		Election Protection lawyers filed suit, and a judge overturned the ruling, but not before many, many voters were turned away.
		The widespread failures of election officials to supply absentee ballots, the inconsistent application of voter identification and provisional ballot requirements, and the failure to provide assistance to voters as required by law are high on that list.
		Regardless of the effects on the outcome of the last election, it is critical for future elections and for our democracy that the problems uncovered be remedied and that the extraordinary energy that went into Election Protection this year be channeled into those efforts.

		Before and during the election state and county officials were aware of several key factors that ultimately contributed to the disenfranchisement of qualified voters.

	Chapter 9: Findings and Recommendations
		The recently enacted election reform law mandates that a county must use an electronic or electromechanical precinct-count tabulation voting system and that as of September 2, 2002, a voting system that uses a device for the punching of ballots by the voter may not be used in Florida.
		In the November 2000 election, Florida voters with disabilities who rely on wheelchairs were forced to negotiate steps and unreachable polling booths or undergo humiliation by relying on others to lift them into the polling places to exercise their right to vote.
		One of the key irregularities in Florida during the 2000 election was a near-statewide inability of poll workers to reach supervisors of elections to verify voter eligibility or to obtain authorization to permit the individual to vote by affidavit.

		State and federal laws require all written materials to be translated into Spanish statewide, and require the appointment of bilingual clerks in certain election precincts.
		While state and federal laws contain general mandates concerning the obligation to provide bilingual clerks, these laws do not specify the number of bilingual clerks that must be appointed in each affected precinct.
		If the number of bilingual election clerks appointed to serve in an election is insufficient to serve the number of Spanish-speaking voters in that election, at least one bilingual clerk must be appointed to serve at a central location.

		The third possibility is that the electorate was upset with Aznar because they thought he was playing politics with the bombings by insisting ETA was responsible even as the evidence mounted that al-Qaeda was behind it.
		Many means of rightist ideology are denying the legitimacy of the result of Sunday, alleging yesterday that they were the terrorists who really gained the general elections, and not it incompetencia of a government who commanded to our troops to occupy a country in which lost nothing is had to us.
		The idea that the Spanish socialists should resign if ETA was involved in the terrorist attacks because their victory would supposedly have been won on "false pretenses" is absurd beyond belief.

		On June 1, 2000, five months before the presidential election, a panel of academics, journalists, pundits and political advisors gathered at Harvard University to discuss the impact of the Internet on presidential politics [1].

		Tactically, the candidates in general may have attempted to use the Internet as a tool to reach supporters; strategically, however, the candidates and the parties were gathering data on who's using the Internet, how much, and for what reasons, to mount a much more convincing campaign in subsequent elections.
