Since neither of us is really clear as to what exactly the activists did, we're probably both talking out of our hat anyway. LOL Seriously, I make a distinction between punishing the activist and punishing the voter. Here the voters aren't alleged to have done anything wrong except not completely filling out the application. If it had been returned to them, they might have completed it, or they might have just voted in the general election, or maybe something else. Should they lose their vote through no fault of their own? That is my question. I have no problem with punishing the activist, my question is whether to punish the voters. Maybe you'll like this analogy better. An election worker from Palm Beach County was on TV talking about the Butterfly ballot. She said that there were some people who were confused, so she just told everyone to make sure to "punch number 3", which would be Gore. Of course this would constitute illegal electioneering since she told people who to vote for. Should she be punished? Probably. Should we throw out all the votes from that precinct? I hardly think so since the voters themselves didn't do anything wrong. To me it's the same thing. Carl
