John, Gore has won the popular vote and, by all sensible measures, would certainly have won Florida, if Palm Beach County had used the kind of ballots that are clearly mandated by Florida law. It is an insult to one's intelligence to argue that more than 3,000 elderly Jews intentionally voted for Pat Buchanan, when every piece of anecdotal and statistical evidence clearly indicates that they intended their votes to go for Al Gore. (Desperation was apparent in Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer's pathetic contention that Palm Beach County is a "Pat Buchanan stronghold".) What's more, the extremely confusing ballots they were using were a clear violation of the state's regulations. Florida law specifies that ballots be constructed in such a fashion that voters mark an "X" in the blank space to the right of the name of the candidate of their choice. Well, Buchanan's name was placed to the left. How much clearer does that need to be? msnbc.com Scumbria

RE:"Even Nixon had enough respect for the system to let the vote stand. These guys are putting themselves ahead of the process, and polarizing the country that one of them will be stuck governing." Supposedly Nixon knew of ballot stuffing in Chicago for Kennedy by Daly. Supposedly he also knew of some stuffing for him on the other side of Chicago. Was this why he never challenged it? BTW, Gore have been trying to polarize citizens ever since day one. As you can see, he succeeded... Jim
