---even if the Seminole County absentee ballots are thrown out, suddenly giving GORE a 5000 vote lead? You shouldn't be sucked in by that propaganda the Dems are spewing forth... Remember.. Al Gore is going in front of the American people and crying about how "every vote hasn't yet been counted"... It would be rather awkward for him to attempt to defend the invalidation of an entire counties absentee ballots solely because Republicans placed the proper voter ID numbers on SIGNED ballots, which the signator's had forgotten to include (or maybe they didn't know their number... cause heck... unless it's my SSN, I don't even know mine...:0) You can have have Al Gore crying for a "fair and accurate count" and NOT count absentee ballots that have been signed. These ballots are NOT anonymous electronic ballots that have been "undervoted". They are readily confirmable votes that had to be personally signed and dated. This is what's known as a "Gorean Paradox"... Regards, Ron

True, those were merely my opinions so could be wrong... <<< Put the shoe on the other foot. Gore leads, Bush challenging>, Dem. leg. selects Gore slate anyway? I think you would be calling that a coup d'etat. And it would be the same if the reverse happens.>>>> I count on the Supreme Court to rule in a manner that considers all voters in all States and make it next to impossible to change election laws after an election is over. The Florida election is chaos- as someone stated, Nov 7th was a slice in time. 1. Truly fair would be a revote in all of Florida, impossible because we cannot go back with the same attitude and there is no time for it. 2. Nearly fair would be a recount of all Florida votes. It would be all by machine( unless there was proven machine defect and there wasn't) or else all done manually for which there is no time. 3. I count on the Supreme Court to recognise the blatant unfairness in manual recounts of Presidential votes from ballots on which no selection was properly made, in only selected Democratic counties, by Democratic Canvas Board members. Since time is about to expire, all that can be accomplished now is a partial recount of unpunched ballots. Mr Gore ran out of time on Nov 7 th, he ran out of time again on Nov 26th and is now pleading for more time and a 5th recount with new rules, by unknown parties, without the Canvasing Boards oversight. I believe at least 5 Justices on the Supreme Court, if not all, can see that this is no way to run a railroad or conduct an election today or in the future. Sig
