sb - .... we aren't talking rocket science. .. Are you sure that the holes in the ballot don't have rubber O-rings? Are you sure that it wasn't too cold? Regards, Don

Skeets, I don't think the ballot is as much of an issue as the Press does. I do think there were frauds and irregularities committed as there always are. And I also think that having the frauds come to light in a state where one candidate's brother is governor will make the second Bush administration smell of week old flounder. Nixon was 1960. No need for a recount in 1964 as "In your guts you know he's nuts" got whupped pretty good. However, I can't see any reason for Gore to concede when the difference is less than 1000 and 1000s of absentee ballots have yet to be counted. That would not make any sense whatsoever. I think the absentee vote will favor Bush, but you never really know til you count them. I don't see anything wrong with double punching. Lenox Lewis is going to do it to David Tua soon. <g>
