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...?

Jeff You are right on. An aside here----when the ERA was being put through the states for ratification after all states voted with the requirement that there should be ratification by 2/3 of the states in keeping with our Constitution------the proponents of ERA demanded a revote rescinding the requirement that there be 2/3 of states ratifying but only a simple majority. And, yes some of my not so favorite Dems championed this recision and pushed it through-----changing the rules in the middle of the game. This is typical of children when playing games or politicians and groups who want to win at all costs to society----rules get invented and then when rules don't suit the child who is loosing a cry is made to change the rules. Ultimately, ERA did not pass----not because of lack of support for the concept of equal rights for women but because people did not want the Federal Government mandating every move to our States. mj
