"Jimmy Carter fears repeat of election fiasco in Florida
Jimmy Carter, the former US president, has said Florida lacks "some basic international requirements for a fair election" and a repeat of the 2000 election fiasco "seems likely".
Mr Carter said reforms recommended after the recount in Florida had still not been implemented "because of inadequate funding or political disputes".
Mr Carter, who runs an election and human rights centre in Atlanta, accused election officials working for Florida's governor, Jeb Bush, the president's brother, of being "highly partisan".
They were "brazenly violating a basic need for an unbiased and universally trusted authority to manage all elements of the electoral process"."
