Preposterous,,"I also believe that the ballots that did not register a vote because the punch did not penetrate the second layer of the ballot should be hand examined and those ballots where the voters intent are obvious should be allowed. This is provided for under Florida election law. There is sufficient precedent, local and national, for such a ruling.Jim " How will this be determined, I "rested my hole puncher in a hole while I was thinking, and it made an INDENTION in the paper,,,is this going to be counted...?

Bull-oney. He's had two, not one but two, complete and fair counts and Gore lost both. All that is outstanding are the overseas absentee ballots. Once tallied, the winner should be declared. Period. JLA

BS point, You just don't get it. I wish you did, but that may not be possible. First, they are called rules. Both sides agree to play by them. You don't change them if at some point later they don't yield the result you want. Second, the count was fair. Its not perfect and it may never be, but all over the country the same potential exists. Are you going to recount them all? And keep in mind that has two edges and might cut the man with the razor on the flip side. Third, what exactly is different about how Gore or Bush acted that one has honor and one does not? Fourth, you don't know why "a lot of people voted for Bush" anymore than I do. People voted for their reasons, not yours. TH
