SO SIMPLE THAT A MERE CHILD CAN DO IT. I have now tested 7 kids under the age of nine; all of whom were able to correctly identify and mark the spot to vote for Gore in under 10 seconds (most under 5 seconds). Anyone that can't do that gets no sympathy from me. Heard folks on radio talk shows that have tested 5 and 6 year olds with the same result.

I think the double punched ballots were probably a random assortment of votes and were representative of other votes in the county. It doesn't matter who they are for, they can not be counted. That is well established. Frankly I don't care who wins the election, so long as it is won without court meddling in the vote. If Gore can continue to request recounts and enough "new" votes show up to put him over the top, then so be it. But if the candidates can all approve a ballot before the election and then reverse the results when they don't like the outcome, I will be very, very concerned. I have always wondered if I will live long enough to see the end of our country, and now I am increasingly convinced that the country won't make it much past 250 years. Carl
