LOL! Correct! And since you brought it up, you know that I concur with finishing the recounts.

Are you honestly saying that if someone is too stupid to punch a pin through a hole that vote should be counted?

The paramount concern is the will of the people. It is hard to argue with that. You do mean the will of the Democratic Party don't you? There is no will of the people present here. Gore is destroying our election process here and it will be a black mark in the history books. You don't have a clue as to how far reaching these Gore acts will be. He has opened a pandora's box that generations will suffer with. Wake up.

Actually, not hard at all, as when I just this morning said this: In the particular instance before us, the Florida Supreme Court has overgeneralized the right to vote, extending it to the right to have one's intent interpreted even if one failed to vote properly, in the pursuit of the "will of the people". By that criterion, all reasonable regulation of voting is subject to challenge, as inhibiting the determination of the will of the people, by forcing them to comply with "technicalities" in order to participate. Thus, we cannot restrict voting to certain times and places, which may limit the participation of a segment of the potential electorate. Perhaps it will be found illegal to require prior registration, or set a determinate voting age. Who knows, since the "right to be heard" has been articulated as a principle by the learned jurists of the Florida Supreme Court?
