Recount I think the review judge will not consider a revote. The double punched ballots are tough luck. The ballots that did not compute because they were not punched all the way through (10,000 or so)are the key. There is plenty of precedent for allowing those to be hand examined and counted if the intent of the voter is obvious. Jim

When people can get away with claiming that WPB voters were "disenfranchised," despite 450,000 getting it right, things have already gotten stupid. The term "disenfranchised," is inflammatory, gross exaggeration, and wrong. But it strikes a "hot button," especially when people like Jesse Jackson are standing in front of the cameras. What is this, the civil rights battles of the '60's? Of course not. If anybody in Florida was "disenfranchised," it was the Republican voters in the central time zone who went home en masse after the media mis-called the state for Gore while the polls were open. Those people didn't even get into the voting booth.
