You're right there's a voting scandal coming up in Florida. Remember those 90,000+ folks disenfranchised in 2000 when they were "purged" from the voter rolls?

Well, even though Florida has admitted they are legitimate voters and shouldn't have been purged, they aren't going to reinstate them until January 2003 -- after the election.

But my favorite good news for the day: the LA Times reports that a federal judge has issued a injunction for a world-wide ban on the US Navy's new low-frequency sonar. Use of the sonar has been accompanied my mass beachings and disruptions in mating where ever it has been used. In order to lift the injunction, the court ordered the Navy, the Marine Fisheries Service, and environmentalists to meet and work out a compromise on places in the world where it would be safe to use the ultra-loud, ultra-low frequency sonar without killing and injuring marine animals.
