RE:"Contrary to what some folks on this thread appear to think, these ballots are very difficult and are so incredibly "fraud-proof" to the point that if you (as a regular, law-abiding citizen) happen to bump up against one of the 3 criteria needed to be valid, good luck - regardless of which Party you are for" Amy J, Not true...Not long ago the interviewed a lady who was a counting observer. (I think it was MSNBC). She was asked if she'd seen any irregularities. To the surprise of the asker she said yes. She said she had seen 20-25 instances of ballots for Bush being "accidentally" placed in a Gore pile. She also said that she had even seen a ballot with a chad out for Bush and one out for Gore AND the chad for the Bush vote had been replaced and scotch-taped back in so it would read as a Gore vote...whassup with that? I believe the people around the country are starting to see the difficulty with hand recounting 1.5 million votes... Perhaps they are also getting a little upset that the determination of their President could be decided over 3 FL that were allowed to get a hand recount where as their States were not...and a few misplaced piles of ballot cards" Also, it's not always the ballot that's the problem but the pile and the tiredness of the human counting... Then whos working the calculator for the tally? Shoot, I have a degree very heavy into statistics and math and sometimes I have to tally several times just to get a checking deposit to add up right....I can't imagine tallying 1.5 million votes without some kind of error...
