SB "The business about the overseas military vote hurt us a bit, because half the screen that night was showing our guy in Vietnam, saluting gooks he didn't have the nerve to shoot at, and the other half was showing our guys in bases and ships overseas, their ballots being tossed away because they didn't have a witness, swear to God, a witness! to their signature. Well, we gave them that, and made a few points, so that's pretty well tucked away." nationalreview.com Bill shur' has a way with words <vbg> regards homer

>> 40% of the military was disenfranchised << And what percent were filled out a day or two after the election, when people became aware of the close vote? Clearly, we don't know. The purpose of the law was to prevent that from happening, but since we're now going to ignore the law, we won't achieve the purpose, no? And how many ballots thrown out were due to conniving Democrat attorneys? Apparently, the Florida election officials were all going to violate the law out of patriotic duty, until the Democrats forced them to follow the evil, socialistic rules. What is wrong with this picture?
