Lawyers, election-rights activists and computer scientists fearing mayhem at the polls descended on Florida, Ohio and other battleground states today, vigilant for trouble with such contentious matters as provisional ballots and electronic voting machines.

When tens of millions of voters flock to the polls in less than two weeks, the nation could experience another Florida-style meltdown because of confusion over rules, disputes over new voting systems, a lack of poll workers and the high potential for court battles in any close contest. That's the warning from the Election Reform Information Project, a nonpartisan clearinghouse on all aspects of voting, in its pre- election survey of 50 states and the District of Columbia, which was released Tuesday.

Less than 24 hours after the polls closed, most election specialists and watchdog groups monitoring the 2004 presidential election cited long lines as the biggest problem affecting voters, and were unable to identify any major problems associated with voting systems. By and large, there was no evidence of systemic problems with machines ... for the most part, I didn't get reports of any major breakdowns," said Doug Chapin, director of the Election Reform Information Project, a nonpartisan research group.

On June 22, 2011, the National Labor Relations Board (the Board) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing various amendments of its rules and regulations governing the filing and processing of petitions relating to the representation of employees for purposes of collective bargaining with their employer. This document explains which of the proposed amendments the Board is adopting at this time in the final rule and sets forth the Board's responses to comments concerning those proposals. The Board believes that the final rule will reduce unnecessary litigation in representation cases and thereby enable the Board to better fulfill its duty to expeditiously resolve questions concerning representation.

The increase in post-election challenges is a trend that is likely to continue into 2008. Its roots lie in the Bush/Gore election decided by the Supreme Court and the electoral reform movement that followed. There is no way to eliminate post-election disputes entirely. But if the concept of using alternative dispute reso...
