Dear John and Tench:

The USSC did the right thing. They stopped this outright theft of the election. A vote for neither candidate is an abstention. There are such abstentions in all votes, including Congress. You can choose not to choose. These votes were correctly counted as abstentions.

Once you deduce the intent of a voter, you start getting into trouble. Bias takes hold and bias is stronger than 1 to 2 percent. PCBs are the worst to decide the intent of a voter. The noise level increases every time the ballots are handled. That is how the count increased the second time through the machines. Notice that the vote was exactly the same in Volusia County where they were smart in going to an OSB system. Both machine counts were the same. OSBs are much easier to determine with reasonable certainty the intent of the voter since the noise level is so much lower. Volusia County could hand count much faster and the results far less objectionable.

But the principal rules that you elect someone by the rules in place before the election. The two corner rule was in effect in any county that did a previous hand count due to machine error or outright fraud which no one creditable is saying occurred. If the hand count was using that rule in PCB counties and the obvious mark closest on OSB counties, any statesman would have conceeded long ago.

But Al Gore with the affirmation of four members of the FSC, attempted to steal the election by allowing bias to override the correctly done initial results in Florida. Yes the election was close, but he lost. The USSC stated that they cheated the first time. Now they will state that the federal and state laws were violated by the FSC just as the Chief Justice of the FSC stated.

Cheaters never win, thank God!
