Jim, re: Earlier this week, Mark Herron, a Tallahassee lawyer helping shepherd Democratic presidential election lawsuits through the local courts, sent a five-page letter to Democratic attorneys throughout Florida giving them tips on how to lodge protests against overseas ballots. Is there something wrong with advising the local lawyers on the complicated laws regarding absentee ballots? There is a small similarity to the two issues, of how complicated and easy to discard the absentee ballots are, and the issue of "butterfly ballot" in PB county that confused the seniors. I wonder if they will recount the absentee ballots, looking for the intent of the voters. I agree those voted should be counted, the absentee vote laws are intended to eliminate fraud, but by their complexity I think they probably allow fraud by the crooks (who presumably know the rules) and disallow honest votes by average citizens. The more this thing unfolds, the more you realize how ****** up our election laws are, and how much they need to be changed in the next four years. And that will be another political football... Off to play golf, then watch the FL / FL State tonight, which is a much more important issue than Gore / Bush in the hearts of most Floridians. John
