I only know what I posted. Hand counting is considered by those who manufacture, sell, and test voting machines, and by Governor Bush of Texas, the most accurate method of counting. Especially if you don't have those really good machines that whisk the chads out of the holes.
That's all I know.
I don't care who wins, personally, Gore being so rebarbative, except I worry about all those federal appointments and having an extremist like Cheney a heartbeat away from the presidency.
As I posted earlier,
I'd rather Cheney hadn't regularly voted for the tightest
restrictions on abortion, voting against abortion rights on all the roll
calls for which he was present, including proposals to ban Medicaid
coverage of abortions for poor women whose lives could be
endangered by continued pregnancy; and that he hadn't voted against
regulating "cop-killer" bullets that were supported by all but a handful
of lawmakers from both parties (including by those who, like me,
believe gun ownership is a Constitutional right) and even voted (one of
only four who did) against a proposal to ban firearms that did not
contain enough metal to be picked up by a metal detector; and that he
hadn't voted in 1986 against a nonbinding resolution calling for the
release of Nelson Mandela from prison.
In fact, for the sheer entertainment of it, I'd prefer George "I stand by all the misstatements I've made" Bush to win.
It will be a poisoned chalice, of course. |
