Why are you asking me that question? It has no bearing on whether Gore has a right to have them recounted since he requested it.

One in one thousand optical scanner voter machines will show an undervote; whereas, 32 in one thousand Votomatic machines will show an undervote. Undervotes is what Gore wants counted and what Bush doesn't want counted. And the ONLY way to count a Votomatic machine undervote is by a hand recount. Votomatic machines were used in Volusia, Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties. The prejudice among GOPwinger pundits and many who participate on this thread gets in the way and causes so many otherwise good people to ignore this important fact. This will become better understood when the inventors and representatives of voter machine technology appear in the Florida courts. Of course, Bush won't wanna hear from them as much as he won't want the votes counted. Fortunately, however, without Ambassador-elect Harris still in his corner, in his bag, so to speak, Bush will have no choice but to attempt to withstand the kind of testimony which will soon come forward from voting machine experts. This testimony will serve to help change the public opinion GOPwingers have been flouting since Sunday's certification. Stay tuned folks! This ain't over!!! Bush could easily become the most humiliated and embarrassed presidential candidate in American history for having self-pronounced himself winner when he won neither the national popular vote nor the electoral college vote.

>>>>Was the undercount vote of Miami-Dade of a greater % then any of the other counties in FL?<<<<< ______ Hey whiteboy, stick this in your pipe and smoke it. ------------- Myth: the number of "spoiled ballots" in Palm Beach County was typical. In a press briefing televised live on all networks on 11/9/00, Karl Rove of the Bush campaign compared the 14,872 invalidated ballots in the 1996 Presidential race to 19,120 ballots for President that were spoiled in the 2000 election. Fact: he Bush campaign was comparing apples and oranges. There were actually 29,702 invalidated Presidential ballots this year in Palm Beach County, twice the number in 1996. The number 19,120 refers to ballots thrown out for voting for two Presidential candidates. The remaining 10,582 ballots had no choice recorded for President. According to the Palm Beach County elections office (www.pbcelections.org), voters this year were not confused at all by the rest of the ballot. For example, less than 1% of U.S. Senate votes were invalidated because of multiple punches, compared with over 4% in the Presidential contest.
