Timelord, You're damn straight! I despise fascism or anything that smacks of fascism, whether that fascism comes in the form of religious trappings as it did at AKSEF in its oil concessions, or in the political form as it does here with Mssr Gore's shenanigans in Florida.

I am absolutely committed to continuing my human rights activities, particularly in Africa (I have two Nigerian activists as guests staying with me right now), to answer your question.

Now back to Florida- Did Al Gore mention to you that 26,000 ballots in Republican County of Duval were also disqualified? Or that of the 19,000 ballots disqualified in Palm Beach and other Democratic Counties, that many of those people just obtained new ballots and voted again?

Also these guys/gals in Palm Beach County mentioned in the article below- Did it ever occur to them that some people just did not vote for a candidate for President?

Slippery slope with no bottom....

From the AP tonight:

Earlier in the week, Palm Beach County officials said that no presidential candidate was punched on about 10,000 ballots cast across the entire county. Democrats, who requested the hand recount, said those ballots suggest the machines in Palm Beach County may have been faulty.

Florida elections officials hold ballots up to the light as they conduct a manual recount Saturday

In another area, heavily Republican Duval County, election officials disclosed that about 26,000 ballots were disqualified and never counted on Tuesday because they were marked for more than one presidential candidate, or none at all.

Florida official fears "meltdown"
