You repeat the same basic argument: that anyone who didn't punch properly or completely is intellectually inferior, and therefore should be disregarded.
No, I think what they are saying is that the rules, set ahead of time, said that if you want your vote to register, you have to punch the hole all the way through. Some didn't punch the hole all the way through. Therefore their vote did not, and should not, register.
These are the same rules that apply for the lotto, for the SAT, and for just about anything else and I can't remember it ever being contested.
Now the Democrats want to selectively change the rules after the fact. The new rule is: if you voted in a heavily democratic district, and you didn't punch the hole all the way through, someone else will decide your intent and register your vote for you. And they will continue to decide voter's intents until the election goes their way. Oh, and as a corollary, the rule change also says that if you voted in a heavily republican district, and didn't punch the hole all the way through, that's tough shit. |
