Ali, The inclusion of the last question raises serious concern about the bias of the poller. I was paraphrasing a post I read elsewhere. The answers are much more revealing than the question. Very moot example. Did the ballot have the same format? He said "We used these ballots last week in a mock election at my high school" so I guess yes. You are starting to split hair here. Why? And don't you think that those high school young men, sitting comfortably in a classroom, have slightly different learning capabilities as compared to elderly people who were waiting in line of voters for some hours? In New York State, you have 3 minutes, we have machines that are a bottleneck. You literally have a line of people waiting for each voter to finish. The limit is widely ignored. Nobody gets thrown out of a voting booth after 3 minutes. In case of this particular county, you get the card and you go to one of many tables to do your thing with in parallel with no pressure Again, you are splitting hair. I thought both candidates now equally depend on votes of few morons. So, what is your point? Democrats are claiming now that the disproportionate number of morons meant to vote for Gore. Do you disagree? The implication is that Bush would have received more votes. Joe
