Carl,
<<1. Bush loses in Federal Court to have manual recounts thrown out. Note that 3 Republicans voted for the Gore position. Things like that, and Democrat Sanders Saul's decision for Bush are restoring my faith in the independence of Judges a bit.>>
A minor correction: my understanding is that Judge Saul used to be a Democrat, but like many Dixiecrats, changed his affiliation to Republican at some point in the past 10 years or so.

I just heard this morning that a Democrat running for a local office in Seminole testified that he had asked the election board supervisor if he could either correct ballot applications from his supporters or take them back to the people to correct, but was told by the same woman who allowed the Republicans to correct their applications that once the applications were in her office, they couldn't be changed. The only question in this case, to my mind, is whether there is an adequate remedy for the obviously illegal acts here. Throwing out the ballots of voters who themselves did nothing wrong other than not realizing that they were submitting incomplete applications (couldn't they read the directions, as the Republicans say of the Palm Beach voters who unwittingly voted for Buchanan or who voted for two candidates? but nevermind) seems like strong medicine. But not counting--not even looking at--the machine rejected Dade County votes is also clearly wrong.
