Amy: Offtopic re >>The polls show most Americans would prefer accuracy, over an incorrect closure based upon a deadline that may have been made before the USA had an enormous population as large as 240MM<< What the pollsters don't tell people is the truth about a selective manual recount. If the reason votes aren't being scored by the machines is related to various "chad" problems one could expect the problem to be evenly distributed across the whole population of votes submitted. In other words, votes that were intended for one of the two candidates but did not score for some cosmetic reason, probably were intended for the two candidates in the same proportion as their actual votes received. By hand counting only those counties that are predominately democratic one would expect to find additional votes for Gore at roughly the rate the overall population of that county favored him by. In Palm County that is something like 60%. An additional problem is the subjectivity of how the votes are scored. Apparently all the republican and democratic observers can do is utter the word "objection", in which case the three member commission, (in Palm County), rules on how to score the vote in question. According to the republican observer, all objections seem to be following a straight party line vote by the commission of 2 democrats to 1 republican. The commission seems to think democratic voters quite promiscuous at "impregnating" chad, while the republicans apparently need to follow Bob Doles lead and get out the Viagra. That the errors are not evenly distributed across the whole population might gain credence if one party, the democrats, could establish that their constituency is more heavily weighted by those too feeble to inflict more damage on a chad than a "dimple". They have already effectively advanced the argument that their constituency is too stupid to read a ballot. Regards, Greg
