During the state's primary balloting last week, especially in the populous southern counties of Miami-Dade and Broward, poll workers couldn't even boot up many of the new touch-screen voting machines, part of a $30 million upgrade undertaken after Florida's 2000 presidential recount debacle.

Given what an ethereal touchstone that is for actual policies, the LPF hasn't done too badly. Fortuyn's presence can still be felt in the ambitious and controversial legislative program the government laid out. A far harder line on immigration, a tamping down of perceived bureaucratic excess, a general...
