<<OT...Does it scare anyone else (as it does me) that our country seems to have a hard time accurately COUNTING votes on election day...... lost ballots, not counted ballots, whatever. The fact that the #'s changed at all is horrible.>>

No, it does not scre me unless you thought all along that all elections are 100% accurate, they never are, and they never will, just that in past election, it is never close enough to make any difference !!!

No JoEllen, it doesn't scare me. But this is exactly why I enjoy the scrutiny given Florida. I believe there are inefficiencies, human errors and yeah, even frauds within our polling places. Such scrutiny should bring changes for the better that will make those smaller positions' votes more accurate.

With this much scrutiny, it oughta be a lock. I just hope other states pay heed and clean up their act, just to ward off occurences like this.
