This is a time-honored tactic. Appropriate the story in order to gut it. We have to hold the SCLM's feet to the fire. They ignored and obfuscated this story in 2000. They will do it again. And just because they are "talking" about voter suppression and fraud, doesn't mean they will report the facts fairly.
From the Note:
Hiccups in Florida, long lines and some frustration, but the voting machines themselves seemed to work just fine. LINK
The Chicago Sun-Times' Jill Barton reports that "only a few glitches were reported." LINK
The New York Times ' Abby Goodnough is more pessimistic:
She wrote that some of the problems from the 2000 election "immediately resurfaced: long lines, trouble verifying voter registration data and a sense among black voters that they were being unfairly treated." LINK
