Re: "If only the "no-good do-gooders" would keep their fat mouths shut AND stay the heck away from . There are plenty of these large ego'ed folks on BOTH sides. Get rid of them, and let Florida manage itself as proscribed by law. Man, if I were a Floridian, I would be plenty upset about all those "foreigners" telling me how to manage my states affairs." I remember people talking this way in the 50s & 60s when "foreigners" were stirring up trouble about voting rights for blacks. The fact is that if a group is systematically disenfranchised, it becomes a Federal matter. As it stands now, the slight error induced by electromechanical ballot counting is evenly distributed across the state and affects both parties (a point Jim Mcmannis brought up and I tried to expand on). If hand counting is allowed in a heavily Democratic area, and not allowed in other areas, that is a systematic statistical disadvantage imposed on the rest of the state where the Republican view would be more heavily weighted. This can be seen as a voting rights violation which falls under federal protection. There are only 2 fair options. No hand counting anywhere, or hand counting statewide, but to only hand count in a localized area is to give an unfair advantage to the Democratic party. IMO EP
