<<I would like to send him a similar note suggesting we all let Floridians decide according to their state laws what is the best way to determine the will of the people, without suits in federal courts to stop recounting of sample ballots to determine if something might have been wrong with the electronic count.>>

<<I just heard a report that those punch cards (not just the butterfly affair, but all punch cards used there in 26 counties) have an error rate of 32/1000 that is 3.2% quite unacceptable, IMHO, particularly when the winner has a margin under .005%.>>

I find this comment to be particularly trite coming someone who flips between posturing as a "humble, illiterate farmer" and a master of the inventing and trading universe, respected by so many who read your posts. Where have you been the past 5 elections? Please don't ask me to provide the links, for I know that you have the wherewithal to dig for the data on your own. Come on, Zeev, make me proud and produce data which proves me wrong and demonstrates (statistically significant) higher accuracy rates in prior elections.

BTW, are you aware that a DEMOCRAT was responsible for the ballot in question, and that the ballots were (by law) published in the local press for public review (no citizen bothered to comment!)? Do you think for a MINUTE that the Daley machine was not aware of the fallability of this ballot? You appear to be playing the humble, illiterate farmer today...
