from an editorial by Robert Parry ===== Florida’s strict absentee ballot law seems to prohibit outsiders from altering information on absentee forms, though the county officials argue that the changes were merely technical revisions. ... So, in Seminole County, the Bush camp is arguing that technical legal provisions should not prevent ballots from being counted, a seemingly contradictory stance from its position before the U.S. Supreme Court. ... If a technical deadline is so important that votes cast for Gore must be thrown out in Broward, doesn’t if follow that a technical violation on ballots for Bush should be discarded in Seminole? Is it fair to change the rules of the game for some and not for others? Cynics, however, might expect that the Reagan-Bush appointees on the U.S. Supreme Court simply would search out a whole new set of cherished constitutional legal principles. Those new principles would explain why technical election-law provisions must take precedence when they help George W. Bush win the White House, but should be set aside if they help Al Gore. ==== consortiumnews.com
