traffic problems in florida

All states in the u.s. are divided into counties.there are 67 counties in florida.since it is the fastest-growing state, there have bee many changes in the highway system. One example og these change is escambia county in northwest florida.
In escambia there were 11 surveys in the years 2000to determine the traffic on secondary roads. the florida departament of transportation counducted the survey . residents were asked the fallowing questions.

1.Is there a lot of traffic in front of your house?
2.Are there a lot of cars during the rush hours?
3.Will there be a lot of traffic during this weekend?
4.Was there a lot of traffic in front your house yesterday?
5.Has there be more traffic in front of your house this year thanlast year?
6.Would there be a lot of traffic in front of your house if you live in the molino area (rural) ?

there will be 6 new secondary highways in escambia in the year 2001, but not because of the survey. the result were lost in the computer system.so why was the mix-up in the presidential elections a big surprise?
