i heard the 26k on fox news - the same place i heard about the 800 bush ballots. there is so much spin going on i'm not sure we can believe anything.

i think we agree that if manual counting is approved (and florida law allows it), then manual counting should be used in every area where applicable.

btw, i checked the link and it had expired. do you mind giving a synopsis of what problems the improved ballots encountered?

btw, lots of bulls are getting some tough love... ;-)

bgr's 4500 nasdaq call looks sweeeeeeeeeeeeet! ;-)

Ben,

>>I haven't seen anything about the 26k tossed ballots you mentioned being tossed in a republican district except in the form of rumors, and I just checked a variety of news sources.<<

It saw it in rumor form a few times, but Mary Matalin repeated it on Meet the Press and James Carville didn't challenge it. I trust her to tell the truth despite the obvious bias.
