nadine, i can appreciate the logical flow of the argument and i agree with it. however, 26k ballots in a republican are were thrown out, too. that is over 33% more than the 19k. 800 of which were definitely bush votes without a doubt. why? b/c bush was punched along with a write in candidate by the name of george w bush.

my point is this. 1. we don't know the magnitude of the discrepancy in s florida. 2. the are discrepancies that favor gore to the tune of at least 800 known votes.

why is it that we only talk about one side and only hand count one side? the facts dictate that there are REAL issues on both sides and NOBODY know the net result. and nobody ever will, imho. just the way the winner wants it.

3. Over 4% of the ballots, about 19,000, were invalidated for overvoting, undervoting, whatever. Any figure over 1% is very high.

Are you considering that the 19 k amount includes ballots that were turned in by the voter whom then received a new ballot and voted?
