""Well, in Alabama today an elementary school teacher Stacy Robinson gave the Florida ballot to her 8 year old students. She reported that ALL of them were able to complete their choice for President correctly.
Since the Jewish & black voters of Palm Beach County claim that the ballot was too confusing, that means that 8 year old schoolchildren in Alabama have a greater ability for reading comprehension than black and Jewish voters in Palm Beach County. Or perhaps the ballot was racist in nature?""

Isn't Alabama the state where 500,000 of its' citizens voted NO to removing the ban on interracial marriage from their state constitution. What else do those 7 and 8 year old kids learn?

See if you can find a reference from Mississippi.


PS Hopefully that 500,000 number I heard is vastly inflated.

I do understand your urge to point out that 8 year old students were able to pick spot correctly, but then I have an urge to show that there were quite a few University (Oregon??) students who did find it difficult to correctly pick a spot.
So what's your point? I think everyone including Bush camp acknowledge this particular irregularity and this is no longer the crux of debate.
I suggest you don't get stuck in time warp (ballot warp)
