lml, if my thesis is naive then Bush himself and the other states who have enacted the manual recount into law are wrong! The whole idea is that the count be as accurate as possible especially for a more accurate resolution of a close election. No one is saying it will be perfect, but it is certainly naive and very wrong to say that we might as well be satisfied with 96% accuracy when we could have 99% accurate. That's plain stupid and un-American, lml! For anyone to say that the machines are more accurate at counting bent cards and partially punched holes is an idiot. The manual count is embedded in state laws so that the will of the people is as closely followed as possible. Surely even you must admit that the states allowed for manual recounts for that reason?! PS-- Maybe you don't understand, NO one is saying that the machine can't count the non-bent, completely puched cards with good precision. YOU SAID: Dave: No I'm not kidding. Your analysis is naive and flawed. You hold this ideal that elections should and need to be perfect. The fact is they're not, never have, but we should strive to make them as perfect as they can be, but NOT necessarily for this election.
