Gore also said that the manual count would "determine the true intention of the voters". It is ridiculous to presume that you can determine the "intention" of the person punching the ballot. There is a hole in the right place or there is none, period. Dimples, loose chads are most likely accidental. Double or no votes must be discarded by humans just as they are by machines. Any attempt to guess at the voter's intention is fraud! Manual re-count of the entire state would work if the entire state was using the same system. The Democrats could then interpret their counties and the Republicans could interpret theirs. If either of them did not like the outcome the could switch places and re-interpret. But that is not the case. The punched cards are used primarily in Democratic districts and only in those districts can you determine the "intention" of the voters. In most of the Republican districts you can only determine how the voters voted. The only fair way to count the results is to base the count on what the voters did with the ballots. The most accurate way to do that is by machine! JMHO Alex
