Hi CB, I like your idea of folks taking personal responsibility. It seems to be the best way to approach life, without a doubt. I'm simply more than a little impressed by the fact that the results in the most populous counties of Florida seem to be such statistical outliers. That's all. Not to suggest that the voters shouldn't take certain levels of care. So, while we are on the subject, couldn't you raise exactly the same argument about absentee ballots being cast incorrectly? Either with a missing date or incorrect voter registration identification? I found the efforts of a Republican operative to hand correct absentee Republican registration in Seminole County for a period of 10 days to be curious to say the least. cnn.com So, I'm reflecting here on your comment: With every right comes responsibility. The right to vote is not absolute, it must be exercised in a responsible manner. As a fair minded person, would you think that all these Republican voters in Seminole County should have their vote taken away from them because they failed to properly write their own registration numbers on their ballot requests as the law directs? IMO, they are clearly non-compliant with Florida election law. Or, do you think, like me, that all the votes should be counted, including all the military ballots and even these dubious Seminole absentee ballots, along with a proper and complete tabulation for all the voters of Florida? And that all efforts to count selectively as the parties are requesting is merely for advantage toward victory? And that fairness has absolutely nothing to do with anything any longer? Best, Ray :)
