Well, I guess this is a great example of how things would be were Republicans to get their way and give complete and ultimate control of just about everything to the local communities. Seems like the problems in Florida are making a great case for the Democrats' call for federal standards, the so-called and errnoneously GOPwinger labeled 'Big Government' in government. So you support universal election standards, huh? Ever think about becoming a Democrat--LOL?

Gore's people are doing some careful judge shopping to increase the odds of a decision in their favor. They didn't like the first one they drew so they withdrew that lawsuit to see if they could get a "better" one. The court may hold that it has been common practice to disallow defective ballots in the past and that the percentage disallowed in this election is not disproportionate to previous elections. It may hold to that position if they find the percentage of defective ballots as compared to correctly completed Gore votes is not off scale.
