Gunzburger: I Can See The Light - If You Hold It Just Right
JUDGE LEE: 5A 11 is a slight dimple on the spot. I have to try to remember these. Judge Rosenberg.
JUDGE ROSENBERG: Cannot be ascertained with reasonable certainty.
COMMISSIONER GUNZBURGER: I disagree on this one because it's pushed more than a slight and there is light visible in the bottom. I've read some of the opinions that says when there is light visible that it is a punch for a candidate.
JUDGE LEE: I don't see it.
JUDGE ROSENBERG: I don't see any light visible.
MR LICHTMAN (Democratic Attorney): Hold it up. I can see it from here.
COMMISSIONER GUNZBURGER: Turn it around.
JUDGE LEE: You're right. You can see it. All right. I agree with the Commissioner, 5A 11 is a vote for Gore. (Broward County Canvassing Board, Esquire Deposition Services, November 23, 2000, p. 1390 - 1391)
Gunzburger Changes Her Own Liberal Standards From Daylight To Dents
JUDGE LEE: 29C 3.
JUDGE ROSENBERG: No clear intent.
COMMISSIONER GUNZBURGER: No. Wait. Let me look. The other votes are Democratic and I'm looking, there is a dent on the No. 3, and I would say it's a Gore.
JUDGE LEE: I agree with Judge Rosenberg. It remains an under vote. (Broward County Canvassing Board, Esquire Deposition Services, November 23, 2000, p. 1432)
Gunzburger Caught Mishandling Ballots - Twisting And Bending Ballots Until The Light Shines Through
JUDGE LEE: Number three.
COMMISSIONER GUNZBURGER: I see a clear vote for Gore. It's like a garage door.
MR CARROLL (Republican Attorney): I ask you not to bend the ballot, please.
GOVERNOR: Don't bend the ballot.
MR. POZZOVLI (sic) (Republican Attorney): You may not bend the ballot.
JUDGE LEE: I agree that's a vote for Gore. (Broward County Canvassing Board, Esquire Deposition Services, November 23, 2000, p. 1516)
Gunzburger Is Seeing So Much Light, She's Seeing Spots (However, She's The Only One Seeing It)
JUDGE LEE: Moving on, moving on to 14J. There is only one disputed ballot, and it is number one.
MS. ANGULO: You mean 15J?
JUDGE LEE: No 14J. That was just 13.
JUDGE ROSENBERG: This is 14J dash one. No reasonable certainty on that ballot.
COMMISSIONER GUNZBURGER: I believe I can see light on three sides, and it's a clear vote for Gore.
JUDGE LEE: I Agree with judge Rosenberg. That's an undervote. (Broward County Canvassing Board, Esquire Deposition Services, November 23, 2000, p. 1504)
Gunzburger: Some Other Votes Are Democratic - Must Be A Gore Vote!
JUDGE LEE: 10A 1, no reasonable certainty.
COMMISSIONER GUNZBURGER: I haven't looked.
JUDGE LEE: I'm just stating my opinion, I'm sorry.
COMMISSIONER GUNZBURGER: The other races are Democratic. There is an indentation on that and I would vote for Gore. (Broward County Canvassing Board, Esquire Deposition Services, November 23, 2000, p. 1398 - 1399)
Gunzburger Defines Voter Intent Based On If They Voted For Another Democratic Candidate
JUDGE LEE: Precinct 5D. 5D only has one, and I believe it is 5D 1.
JUDGE ROSENBERG: No intent.
COMMISSIONER GUNZBURGER: On this one, I believe there is a discernible intent based on the following reasons: On 21, there was a Democratic vote; on 41, there was another attempt to vote for congress on 41, and it didn't get through, so that I believe this is a vote for Gore.
JUDGE LEE: I agree with the Commissioner, 5D 1 is a vote for Gore. (Broward County Canvassing Board, Esquire Deposition Services, November 23, 2000, p. 1436)
When Everyone Else Agrees There's No Reasonable Certainty, Gunzburger Still Calls It For Gore
JUDGE LEE: Moving on to 21A, there is only one dispute. It's No. 4. I believe no reasonable certainty.
JUDGE ROSENBERG: No reasonable certainty.
COMMISSIONER GUNZBURGER: Well, it's pushed on Gore, but I don't think I'm going to have the votes on that, but I'm going to say it is a Gore vote, based on the rest of the ballot. (Broward County Canvassing Board, Esquire Deposition Services, November 23, 2000, p. 1405)
Even With A Clear Overvote - Recognized By The Other Two Members Of The Board - Gunzburger Still Calls It For Gore
JUDGE LEE: Moving to Precinct 5H. One disputed ballot. It's ballot number 10. I don't what that's - - That's an overvote, clearly. That's an overvote.
JUDGE ROSENBERG: Punched two numbers, three and eleven, in the presidential race.
COMMISSIONER GUNZBURGER: Gore.
JUDGE LEE: No change to Precinct 5H. (Note: Canvassing Board made a determination that if two punches were present, and one of the punches was in a spot not occupied by a candidate (spot 1, or spots 12 and on), the vote would count for the candidate. If the second punch was in a spot occupied by another candidate (spot 2-11), it would be classified as an overvote.) (Broward County Canvassing Board, Esquire Deposition Services, November 23, 2000, p. 1493)
Gunzburger Is Even Trying To Rationalize Bush Votes Into Gore Votes
JUDGE LEE: 17D, there is only one ballot disputed. It's 17D 2.
JUDGE ROSENBERG: No intent.
COMMISSIONER GUNZBURGER: They voted only in three races for congress and for Nelson, and I believe there is an intent to also vote, because in the bottom of that is a punch for Gore.
JUDGE ROSENBERG: Gore?
JUDGE LEE: It's really a punch for Bush.
JUDGE ROSENBERG: If it's for anybody, it's Bush.
COMMISSIONER GUNZBURGER: You're right. (Broward County Canvassing Board, Esquire Deposition Services, November 23, 2000, p. 1438)
Again, Gunzburger Attempts To Interpret Voter Intent Where Voter Intent Is Simply Not Known
JUDGE LEE: G5
JUDGE ROSENBERG: (No Comment)
COMMISSIONER GUNZBURGER: I see a line on the bottom that's been punched out. I think it's a vote for Gore, based on the fact that the rest of the card is, also.
JUDGE LEE: So going back to this on, Judge Rosenberg, G5.
JUDGE ROSENBERG: I don't think it's a reasonable certainty.
JUDGE LEE: I agree with Judge Rosenberg on G5. (Broward County Canvassing Board, Esquire Deposition Services, November 23, 2000, p. 1489)
