WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP)--Circuit Judge Jorge Labarga said that Palm Beach County must consider dimpled chad in its manual recount of ballots, something Al Gore has requested. ``Since the will of the people is the paramount consideration, and the purpose of our election laws is to obtain a correct expression of the intent of the voters ... that intention should be given effect,'' Labarga wrote in the court's ruling. By contrast, the county election supervisors must reject any vote in which they cannot discern the voters' intent. The decision means that the county's canvassing board, which has two Democratic members, must consider up to 2,000 questionable ballots that had been set aside while Labarga considered the case brought by Gore supporters.
