It's really quite simple. One method has objective standards in which to measure. The other does not. One method is objective. The other is not. One district grossly favors one candidate and is controlled by very partisan emotionally charged people. The other doesn't fall prey to emotional reactions by partisan counters. Can you imagine the pandora's box Gore has just opened up? Any candidate can now claim that "certain districts" which they might control by corruption, be given preferential treatment in the voting process. Every candidate will now take the electorate to court over the outcome and use the Florida Supreme court case to accomplish their thievery of the election. The best thing for our country is for the Florida Supreme court to uphold the Secretary of States lawful exercise of authority. Then, after Bush is sworn in, pass national legislation to clean up the election process and bring our voting system into the 21st century. Give Oracle a couple of billion dollars and I'll bet they could create an incredibly efficient and accurate national voting system within 2 years.

Tier 1 Absentee - Yes we can accurately and fairly count their votes if they fill out the form and mark their ballot correctly. Tier 2 Voting Machine - These people pull a lever. The lever signals a vote or a non-vote for each place on the ballot. OK Tier3 Paper/Marked ballots If you put your mark next to a candidate then it counts - otherwise it doesn't. Tier 4 Punch balloteers. They have the unusual liberty of either clearly marking their ballots or have the option of having [In this case, Democrats' divining their will. Gee, what's different about these and why shouldn't they all count the same? Aren't they all 100%? No-they are not. If you can't make your mark, you did not vote. pure and simple. Jim
