Vendit Re: "Please forgive me but what does Texas law have to do with this election?" The Texas law shows the astounding hypocrisy of the current position expressed by Jr Bush and his representatives that a manual recount is a horrible methodology. A classic case of "do as we say, not as we do". Bush's position in 1997 was that a manual recount is preferred over an electronic recount, presumably because a manual recount is more accurate which it in fact is. The machine tabulation of punch cards is has a typical error rate of 1% to 2% and may go as high as 3% in some cases.

Hi Vendit, Re: The Center for Professional and Technical Research - http://www.hyperindex.com/scripts/search.exe/_hits?dn=ELECTON&rpt=&scope=SENTENCES&no=1575&keyor=MANUAL&show=0&host=1 I hadn't seen that source before. Thanks for pointing it out. I've bookmarked it. I'm wondering if you are aware of a similar resource for the Florida state statutes? Also, I'm still looking into this military thing and ran across this one: clausewitz.com Seems to pretty well sum up the terrain. <bg> Best, Ray
