Yes, I do. There were 15,000 votes thrown out in that county in the last election. No one knew, so I guess everyone agreed to "play by the rules." Unfortunately, we live in a society where nothing is black and white anymore. Never criticize anyone's view on anything. Nothing is right or wrong -- it is all about respecting other's "rights" and opinions. I have news for all the "bleeding heart liberals" -- there are things that are absolute right or wrong. It is absolutely wrong to kill an unborn baby that has done nothing to harm anyone. The Democratic Party can call it "choosing", or a woman's "right", or a "fetus" -- they can word spin it any way they want, but if there is a God who creates life, and these so-called "fetuses" have a heart and brain, then I pity the USA who has sanctioned this killing while the bloody movie stars we all worship hold rallies about the "feelings" of trees and mice. I rant on, which wasn't the purpose of this, but you at least know where I come from.

I stand by my earlier statement that if the rules say you punch one hole and you don't, then your vote gets thrown out. Simple. Absolute. Easy to judge. And, yes, if 96% of the people clearly understood the process, then yes, I am glad the votes of these 19,000 were not counted because they have demonstrated that they are not the best judges of who should be the President. Why is this so hard to understand? The rules may not be perfect, and perhaps they can be changed, but for this election, the rules should stand. It wouldn't surprise me that a great number of those ballots that were thrown out were from non-registered voters that the Democrats bribed into the voting booth -- hence the problems with understanding the ballot!

I remain,
