Coincidentally my son is reading Catch-22 in his English class. It is a very good book.

But I don't think this is a Catch-22. Bush was able to bring in voters, one member of a canvassing board (the redoubtable woman from Nassau County, was it Mrs. King? maybe a relative, as King was my greatgrandmother's name), and observers, as well as the expert statisticians and the guy who invented the Internet, whoops, the guy who invented the Votomatic. And the rubber guy, wasn't he a laugh riot?

Where were Gore's voters? Shouldn't they have brought in at least one witness to testify that the machines, in fact, had a problem and didnt' work properly?

Gore's witnesses were idiots. Apparantly Boies believed his own bullshit about this being a question of law. Once the judge insisted on an evidentiary hearing Boies should have got a clue.
