Bosco, The reputation of both Bush and the court could suffer further if academics or news organizations eventually count the disputed votes--something that Florida's open records laws makes quite likely--and discover that they favor Gore, he and others noted. "I suppose the logic of it is that the court should say they should burn all the ballots," McConnell said sarcastically. The election will always be in dispute. Some academic will count the votes using the "dimpled" ballot standard and claim Gore won. Some other academic will count them using a 2-corner "standard" and will determine that Bush won. And so on and so on. We'll argue about this forever and never know what each canvassing board would have really done. Now that you mention it, it wouldn't surprise me at all if both sides were already lining up "experts" to count the ballots using their own favorable standards in order to be the first to claim a "full vote".
