Steve,
OT
1. I have never heard any Democrat speaking officially say that the problem was with ballots, though I have heard Republicans accusing Democrats of saying this.

2. Somehow Republicans thought it was reasonable for Ms. Harris to hew STRICTLY to the 5:00 PM optional deadline on whether or not to accept the Palm Beach votes, but claim to think that it is unreasonable to expect voting officials to hew to a clearly stated law on who can or cannot fill out ballot applications. Ms. Harris, lest you forget, was told by the Supreme Court that she could accept counts at 5:00 Sunday evening if her office was open, or, alternatively, could accept them at 9:00 AM the next morning. I partially blame the FLSC for this, but it is pretty obvious to anyone who is not a Republican that this gave her plenty of legal leeway accept counts which might have come in a few hours later than 5:00 PM Sunday if she was actually interested in finding out who received the most votes rather than simply being interested in having the good Gov win the election. I daresay that her office is not typically open at that hour.

This whole thing would have been long over by now if the Republicans would JUST LET ME THEM COUNT THEN DAMNED VOTES.
S.
