Barry,

re: Do we know if the vote checkers will be comparing the other votes cast on the ballots that have dimpled or pregnant chads to see if the voter was consistent in their stylus pressure? It seems logical that if a ballot contains a dimpled or pregnant chad that unless many of the other votes cast by that voter were also similarly dimpled that the voter did not intend to cast that dimpled/pregnant vote. If the pregnant dimple is ONLY on the presidential chad, then the voter might have indeed not pressed hard enough or that voter might have had second thoughts and decided not to cast that vote. HOW DO WE KNOW?

We devine the voter's intent based on the depth of the dimple? <g>

The Democrats want the SC to set standards. The Republicans don't want them to set standards. I doubt they will, but may say it's up to the canvas.

The thing that seems to be happening now, IMHO, is the two sides are setting things up for an appeal if they lose. Probably the US Supreme's.

You are right, this thing has gone on long enough. How do you stop it? It's like trying to get the AMD and Intel threads to agree on which is better, Pentium or Athlon.
