I submit that Algore can never be legitimate when ballots are local county ballots are evaluated on "intent" when the following is allowed to happen! Any of you defenders of Algore the rightous - let it go - he learned from the best - the slickster. Nothing - but nothing - is below Algore in his attempt to be president - he can never be the legitimate president for this term!

Hundreds of Overseas Ballots Rejected
By BRENT KALLESTAD, Associated Press Writer
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - More than 1,000 overseas absentee ballots were thrown out Friday as Republicans complained of a coordinated challenge by Democrats, particularly against ballots from military personnel.
In some counties, half or nearly all of the ballots were rejected, many of them military ballots that apparently didn't have postmarks.
Orange County, for example, rejected 117 of its 147 overseas ballots.
``The party of the man who wants to be the next commander-in-chief is trying to throw out the votes of the men and women he will be commanding,'' charged Jim Post, a Republican lawyer in Duval County, where 107 ballots were rejected.
``We had a lot of ballots with no postmarks so we had to declare them invalid,'' said Dick Carlberg, assistant elections supervisor in Duval County.
Thomas Spencer, a Miami attorney for Bush, said the GOP legal team would weigh whether to sue this weekend. ``One of the problems with those ballots is it is so difficult under Florida and federal law that you almost have to be a rocket scientist to comply,'' he said. |
