Bosco: I don't know if its wrong or right. I just know that the attorney in IL, contacted by the Democratic legal team, reversed himself after he had a chance to go back through the records. Or at least this is what was shown on CNN. I assume this is the case and I assume there is more too it than your quote. I didn't know Baker picked up on it. We'll find out Friday whether FL SC exceed its authority. I agree with these two points 1) To invalidate a ballot which clearly reflects the voter's intent, simply because a machine cannot read it, would subordinate substance to form and promote the means at the expense of the end. Florida law allowed the manual recount but they put a time limit on it which the FL SC extended. 2) Whatever the reason, where the intention of the voter can be fairly and satisfactorily ascertained, that intention should be given effect. How can one determine intention is the major issue. Its my understanding there were guidelines set b/4 the election for PB County but not sure about others. I can guess the Gore team feels every vote for Gore and the Bush team will feel the did not intend to vote for Gore. We live in an imperfect world. Tim
