I understand Gore's frustration. He probably should have won the election, but we can't say that as a matter of law, he won, unless the ballots are thrown out, and even then, all he can get is a new vote and hope it goes his way. Or else throw out Palm Beach completely? Seems like the course of action that the FEC is trying to follow is to get an accurate count of the ballots that they have, certify the count, and make final adjustments next Saturday when the final tally from the absentees is known .. and leave it at that .. Jim in CT ..

You're right, it makes no clear distinction...I don't understand why that one lawyer believes it did. But maybe they will argue that for the sake of clarity, the check off boxes should all be oriented the same and in the same order. As I said, in MD and I guess most other places, all candidates for an office are listed in a SINGLE column. In that arrangement, it wouldn't matter if the check off boxes were on the left side or right side of the names, as long as they were consistent. TG
