Well, you're right. The room for hanky panky increases greatly...a little pressure on a hole..whatever...there was a good article here describing the possibilities from past experience earlier. Already, I'd note that "chads" were found floating around outside of the counting area down in Palm Co. Good lord, if hand-counting goes forth, anyone might be noticing all sorts of fluff and skullduggery. It could be a real pain. Evidence is, we can't trust partisans much here. So, perhaps you are right. But still, if hand-counting in the suing counties is upheld tomorrow by a court, there may be more of a chance the whole state will be ordered eventually to hand-count, and if so I say so be it. Ok. All in all, IF you/we are right about the ugly prospects for hand-counting, it'll be a pain, and in a nonn-partisan way, I guess I'd say I hope it isn't done. But there is no way in hades Gore has a chance to win properly without it, and he has the right to try, I reckon, if he wants to(foolish). Dan B
