Accepting a vote counted for Gore or Bush, but not intended to be cast at all, is alright by you then, I see. I don't agree. Never-the-less, whatever the standard, fairness requires counting Bush's territory also, albeit only half as large. Gore blew opportunities to request this fairness, but choose to seek the unfairness of claiming that counting only his own would be a just result. You may think that is fine too, but I don't agree, and I'm confident most Americans don't either. Harris Interactive polling said 94% don't believe Gore should get only the four counties included.

Right, you wish to allow the counting of votes that weren't by the intent of the voters, actually votes. I see no justification for that, by gosh by golly, under ANY circumstances! Now THAT would be a deprivation of liberty for an innocent man/woman voter. I understand your desire to count cast ballots..but if it is impossible to do so without creating further injustice, you must stop- we should not allow UNCAST votes to be counted for anyone. AND, you MUST include all territories as a pre-requisite to claiming a proper winner would result from a hand-count, to be fair. This means going back to all chadded counties..Ok, fine then. Dan B
