Hi David, Fla. law says, as I understand it, that counties that choose to use chadcard machines need to accept the error rate of the machines chosen, except that when a machine error occurs or there is allegation of fraud, either candidate may request a hand-count. This rule, as written, would prevent just the unfairness 94% of Americans recognize as unfair- having these four selected counties included alone, skewing statewide results. The law, again, does NOT say these candidates should vie for the permissions of county commissions favorable to them. The law does not address this. This process in which Bush supposedly failed to ask for some of his counties to be hand-counted doesn't exist in law. I defy anyone to show where it is written as such. It isn't, it was never intended to be, and we all know it. Dan B
