Would someone please explain why a mechanical vote count is biased more toward one party versus another? At least a machine is brutally consistent which is more than one can say for any human being.

The machine is brutally consistent to have missed too many votes for Al Gore while on the face of it, it is a miniscule number, but big enough to make or break this election. Mechanical vote count is found to be biased against Al Gore where there are majority of democrats and biased against GW B where the counties have republican majority. They were not designed to be bias, but it got introduced by virtue of not punching chads out completely. Normally these are ignored, but in this elections, they should be taken into account to determine the will of the people than arbitrarily declare a winner who appears to be leading at this stage.
