What a difference four years makes. It is amazing how perspective changes when an election is not close. While Election 2000 was not as bad as its characterization, Election 2004 was a dramatic improvement--but nonetheless it demonstrated areas of needed improvements. Those in the elections profession still are concerned about administrative challenges discovered in 2004. With more than 11 million additional voters and dramatic increases in voter registration, due to the efforts of the campaigns and scores of political activist organizations, the administrative process was strained even greater than in Election 2000.
