>> That ridiculous. << It's already been documented on videotape by Republican lawyers. The evidence is MORE than enough to prove their contention that the manual recount process is flawed and the results are tainted as a result. >> If anything the videos I have seen show a controlled and orderly count that is being conducted in a non partisan way. << I saw one video of Carol Roberts herself holding a ballot up to the light, and then twisting and contorting the ballot, and then holding the same ballot up to the light again, and then writing something down. Plus, Roberts and friends changed the rules regarding what to count AFTER the process was already underway and they discovered the results weren't yielding a significant enough margin increase for Gore. This is all factual news, broadcast repeatedly. >> Your point with regard to "spontaneous chad dislodging" is equally ridiculous. These punch cards were designed to be hand counted and handled. Chads do not fall out on their own. That's straight from the makers of the equipment and punch cards. << I'm afraid you're sadly mistaken. In Broward County alone, 283 chads were collected from the immediate ballot counting area. Wanna guess where they came from? cnn.com John
