I've got an interesting idea. Since you have some doubt regarding the bias of the vote, let us have a republican and a democrat judging each ballot and a democrat and republican observing those judges. Incredible idea eh? Republicans and Democrats working together to find a fair solution?

I am willing to trust both the Republican judges and the Democratic judges to do their best. Do you not trust them? I personally doubt that the number of dimpled ballots will make the difference in the election. We'll see. However, it certainly seems reasonable to take a vote made from someone that has a punched hole where they were asked to punch a hole, but the machine erred in judging that ballot.

In any case, I am willing to leave it up to the bi-partisan judges involved. Do you feel that these Republican judges and observers are biased? I am willing to trust them even though I do not agree with how they voted. Amazing eh?

So far there do not appear to be enough changes from the handcount to alter the result of the machine count. If that continues and Bush is put into office, you won't have to listen to 4 years of how the Bush office stole the election by blocking a complete count. Isn't that worth it?
