Possibly by noting that Texas law does not apply in Florida. You think?

In how many of those recounts has Harris county counted dimples only in democratic (or republican) precincts, to allow the democrat (or republican) to pull ahead of the other candidate? While the other candidate did not get the advantage of dimples or any other creative counting technique in his own district?

just on CNN: they count dimpled chads in Texas elections. how's the GOP gonna spin this one? CNN is the one that's spinning, fact is it's irrelavant what any other state does. What they leave out of their "objective" story is these handcounts are only allowed when fraud or machine error is alledged making this an apple to orange comparison. Did they also point out this is a standard that is applied evenly before the election, not selected when the campaign sees fit? No? Did not think so. CNN is Spin. You're above these folks, cut em loose. Lieberman should have. Talk about a collapse in perception.
