**OT**

First of all, FLA law mandates that the voter put an "X" to the RIGHT of the person in a WRITE-IN vote. In a vote of this type, that is not applicable since of course this is not a write in ballot. The illegal ballot rhetoric by the dems is false; this was not a write in ballot.

As far as the 20,000 voters being "disenfranchised" as many dems claim, what they fail to mention is that 15,000 ballots were spoiled and thus not counted in the '96 election IN THE SAME DISTRICT. This vote has 33% more spoiled votes but the turnout was much greater. The dems did not complain until Gore was behind in the vote.

As far as a Revote is concerned, should the people in areas of NM get a revote since there was a snowstorm on the 7th in areas of NM? This is a Slippery Slope we want to avoid.

The Democrats unfortunately are not telling the whole truth, and in many cases are telling outright lies.
