>>Burton pointed out a problem with The Post's method. If the canvassing board had counted dimpled chads
as votes, it would have had to reject the ballots where voters made a clear punch for one candidate and
made a dimple for another because that would have meant they voted for two candidates. It is unknown
how many ballots would have been disqualified if that had been done. <<

This is the dirty secret the Dems don't want to confront. If dimples count, then they should count not only in the so-called "undercounts," but in all ballots. But this isn't convenient to the Dem strategy, because it can subtract votes. The strategy is clear - only look at data which can help, deep six data which can hurt. This is a lot of fun for armchair strategists, but it's abysmal historical analysis.

Don't tell me who might have won, tell me who got the votes. So far it's Bush, and I don't mean the United States Supreme Court. Every analysis which favors Gore uses language like "might."
