<material voter fraud> -material voter fraud not proven (and IMO never will be) -not a Bush supporter so at least I (unlike you) have a modicum of objectivity -a mere child can fill out the ballot, a mere child If gore gets the final recount and absentee ballots so be it. If not -go ahead and cry baby cry.

Manatee county now in, net increase of 4 for Gore. Only one county left now, Seminole County. Voters in all states are only allowed to vote for one candidate for President. In all states if they try to vote for more than one their ballot is invalid. Whether it is due to age or some other reason, Palm Beach County typically has a large number of invalid ballots. These are the rules and they have always been the rules, and they can't be changed after the election when you don't like the result. Maybe in addition to a "get out the vote" campaign, for the next election the parties in Palm Beach County need to hold "fill out the ballot" classes, but for this election what is done is done, and it can't be changed. Their votes were invalid, and would be invalid in any county. I agree with you that it is curious that the heavily Democratic districts in Florida keep "finding" more Gore votes. My personal opinion is that each time they recount they will "find" more until they have enough. Much cleaner that way than a court case, after all. Furthermore though I don't like that alternative very much, if they can get away with it, more power to them, I guess, and I will support the winner. If court action is involved to reverse the vote, then I will be very upset and concerned. Carl
