OT Saw the article. It said that the error rate of the Voting Machines was at best .05% and normally under 1%. I would post the article here but there have been objections to that "Liberal Rag". Well we are back to the week-end and a whole lot of political discussions. Perhaps the networks could have a Sunday night show "Who Wants to be President?" It would be the usual quiz shoe with Bush and Gore staring each other down from their assigned podiums. The first question would go to Gore: For 100 electoral votes... "Who invented the internet?????? The next question would go to Bush: For 100 electoral votes. Is Social Security a private or a Federal Program. No Prompting please. No calling for help. Both candidates are evenly matched, both having been educated outside of Texas. Gosh this has been so much fun we ought to elect a president every two years. Better than watching all that violence on TV. Jerome
