Big. If you are so dumb as to not know how to fill out a ballot then you should not be allowed to vote. PERIOD

The fraud theory sounds more plausible to me. 19,000 double punches on the butterfly ballot seems unreasonable. I can understand the 22,000 double punches in Duval county as they listed the candidates on two pages. Voters would just turn the page and vote again. It seems like a normal mistake. If one were to look at the *intent* of these voters it would favor Bush. Where are the cries for righting this wrong? Do injustices only apply to Democrats?

But voting twice on one page in large numbers as in Palm Beach doesn't seem reasonable. Punching another hole after the fact seems like an easy thing to do.

The other thing that points to fraud is the big swing to Gore after the recount. A statistical analysis would indicate errors relative to the original count. This is the case in most Florida counties. A few including Palm Beach were far outside what would be expected.

I believe we deserve explanations to the above issues. It looks like fraud to me. The people looking at the ballots do not inspire confidence. I believe they should be looked at by criminal authorities.

I have zero confidence in the results if a few selected counties are recounted by hand. I also would not trust a hand count of the entire state. This has already gone too far. IMO we are witnessing the theft of an election...a repeat of OJ....a coup d'etat executed by lawyers.
