"I suggest that the best way to tell if the ballots have votes on them is to look at them and use some common sense. This has never been done"

Nadine, that would have been fine had Mr. Gore stopped from wanting the canvassing boards to play GOD and try to discern the intent of the voter... a manual recount is supposed to identify what should have been counted by the machine but wasn't for some unknown reason.. and not to discern the voters' intent... statistics have shown that many many people have not voted the party line... yet, time and again, Mr. Gore and his team want to force them to do just that if they did not have a clear vote to the contrary... again, statistics have shown that many many voters have elected NOT to vote for a presidential candidate... again, Mr. Gore wants to force them to... and in Democratic dominated counties mind you.... now, what on earth gives Mr. Gore, or ANYONE for that matter the right to do that...?

the standards for "intent of a vote" have changed at least twice... WHY ? and if Democrats were disgusted with Mr. Gore and decided not to vote for him or Mr. Bush... any Democrat in the canvassing board can claim discernable intent of a vote... especially when punch hole ballots can be indented by mere handling...

I can not fault Mr. Bush for not wanting the manual recount under any circumstances... Mr. Gore and his team are simply NOT TRUSTWORTHY... and they have shown it to the whole nation and the world....plain and simple.

best regards
