Dear JDN, I'm sure the Florida legislature will shut the barn door now that the horse has bolted, and fix the elections law and maybe even get new voting machines. I'm in the camp that favors a good enough count to tell who actually won the election, or in the case of a very close election, the best count humanly possible. Depending on equipment, that may mean a machine count, a manual count, or a machine count plus a manual count of machine-rejected ballots. It does not include just ignoring machine-rejected ballots, especially in an election where the number of machine-rejected ballots was 400 times the margin of victory. Entire counties rejected over 12% of their ballots -- 12%, can you imagine it? Above all, I favor a public official getting up and saying, "The election was very close and we are going to count very carefully to see who won because the will of the voters matters." Did you hear anyone say that this time?
