US elections: Will US voters face poll chaos? - by Laura Smith-Park
In 2000 it was the problem of hanging chads, recounts and court decisions in Florida. In 2004, some voters endured an eight-hour wait to vote in Ohio. Four years on, a study by the Pew Research Center has warned of a possible "perfect storm" creating chaos at the polls - fueled by record numbers of voters, new voters, and shortage of polling station staff.Another report on 10 swing states, by The Century Foundation and Common Cause, found that "significant problems in the basic functions of American election administration system persist, and in a few cases have worsened".
