Bush +830 they won't revote that county that's ridiculous. get over it...it was an approved ballot. Used in other elections and approved by the Dem. party and no objections prior to election. >>>Another 19,000 Votes Disqualified Democratic Rep. Robert Wexler of Florida said 19,000 votes in Palm Beach County in his state had been disqualified because of the confusing design of the ballot paper. <<< Chris this is nonsense....you can't vote for 2 people in the same race....this is standard voting proceedure...get real these ballots are always thrown out. nothing irregular going on here either....desparate Al Gore...how low will he go?

<<gonna leta dubious one county vote to influence the entire election>> These issues of design and layout are pre-election issues not post election, it was only after the thin election victory of Bush that this issue was of confusion raised. To bring fairness issue is unfair on part of Mr Gore, he was in a motorcade and had already conceded the election to Bush when he came to know of hte margin of victory, if the 18000 cnacelled votes were the issue that was something he should have known earlier soon after the ballots had closed, he was basking in glory when media was giving Fl to him until such time no improprietry is reported soon after Bush thin razor edge victory the issue of fairness is raised. This is absolutely not valid and will not stand scrutiny of law, they can make it legal but if Bush has na edge he takes the Presidency, he is the man who would be given the oath by Chief Justice, as afr a girdlock is concerned iti s in htem ind of people, I think US has a functioning government until the Jan 2001 and Arafat is meeting the President today to discuss issues relating to ME peace, Fed is working, country is in state of shock but that will be soon lifted after the recount announcement, the moral pressure on Gore would be of different kind. Any exercise undertaken with the benefit of hindsight of changing results only in that one county would be gross injustice. The recount part would be acceptable but hte rejection part and Buchanan part of the deal requires the entire electorol process to be repeated. The candidates are elected by votes and with an established set of rules those goal posts are fixed and cannot be changed during or after the game, the game has to be played with some goal posts, Mr Gore fairness issue is changing goal posts..
