Hello, Sal. I apologize for the delay, but I just now saw your question.

Watergate happened in the 1970s and involved then President Richard Nixon.

In 1996, there were documented voting inaccuracies in the state of Florida during the U.S. presidential election. However, as Bill Clinton was a popular candidate, he had enough electorial votes to win re-election without Florida's votes. The inaccuracies didn't affect the outcome so nothing was done.

Four years later, there were again voting inaccuracies and questions in the state of Florida, but this time, the candidate credited with the majority of Florida's votes would win the election and the U.S. Presidency. What happened was long, controversial, and its effects continue to affect policy in this country.

Sal, I recognize that some are very uncomfortable with political references on this wiki so please feel free to delete this note after you read it, if you wish. The intent of my original reference was to provide an historical example to illustrate my opinions that (a) the future is unknown, and (b) as my grandmother taught me, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". The intent of this message was to answer your question.

Have a lovely day!
