mph,

I like your style: direct, pragmatic and honest.

I would have no problems with a court decision in favor of Al Gore in that particular case if the remedy does not reverse the current result of the official ballot count in Florida. In other words, the judge agrees with the technical merits of the case but chooses to award the omission of "one" absentee Bush ballot vote for the Gore camp (as a symbolic gesture only) or simply chooses to impose penalties for the next election (although this remedy may not involve Mr. Gore since he's not a shoe in for renomination in 2004).

The thought of a single district judge in the state of Florida overturning the election result of 6 million voting ballots in her state or 50 million votes in the nation is simply ludicrous. And on a technical merit of law too. Where is the application of Democracy?

Regards,
