There were tens of thousands of ballots nationwide that were incorrectly filled out. Who the votes were for is irrelevant. The remedy for incorrectly double marked ballots is the same in every state...they are tossed out.

mishedlo... A disallowed ballot is a disallowed ballot and does not count, regardless of how it became disallowed. The reason for this mess is that some people didn't understand (too bad, no excuse), it could also have been the erroneous early results for Florida claiming that Gore had won. Imagine standing in line to vote for Bush and you're told Gore has won... what do you do with your vote? Me I would become angry and punch double holes for Gore and Buccanon or the Socialist. In this day and age why do we use such archaic methods and equipment? This problem has existed for years... now all of a sudden Big Al is angry because it affects him. What about all the other politicians in years past... where was Gore then? Where was the DNC and the RNC?

The count in most of the states is not really complete because of the absentee ballots. The absentee ballots favor the Republicans by a 55 to 45 % usually (!?).

So people will just have to wait for all the results to be certified.

It is also not clear what the specific causes of the invalidity of 19 K ballots were. I have not heard anyone claim (besides you) that all 19K should have gone to Gore. The facts have been spotty at best.
