The fiasco in Florida got the most attention in the 2000 election, and it might be easy to assume that better voting machines will solve America's problems at the polls. But the flaws inside our voting system are deeper than that. It turns out that in the 2000 race, the people whose vote most often got lost or rejected were citizens who've been traditionally discriminated against - African Americans and other minorities, new immigrants, and the disabled. And when it comes to one whole class of Americans, the nation's 5 million convicted felons, a criminal sentence can mean losing the power to vote for life.Producers: Rebecca Perl, Michael Montgomery, and Jamison York
