WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - With memories of 2000 and the state's bitter fight over ballots still fresh, Floridians began casting votes Monday and

suburbs.

And these are not the only early signs of what is shaping up to be the most litigious election the U.S. has ever seen. Nearly every state has
experienced new levels of voter confusion and peculiar actions from voter registration drives.
