Goreon challenge - defend this: Gore attorney David Boies yesterday continued to tout an Illinois court case as proof that dimpled ballots must be counted, even though an affidavit he submitted to Florida officials on the case was retracted. . . . Yesterday at a press conference in Tallahassee, Mr. Boies continued to promote the Illinois case. "Now, I don't know what somebody has reported about that being the case or not being the case," Mr. Boies said, referring to news stories questioning his interpretation of the Illinois case. "What I do know is what was reported contemporaneously, and I know what the [first Lavelle] affidavit says," he added. "Now, in addition to that, I know what the case says, and the case talks about indented ballots. So whether or not there were or were not indented ballots — and I think the record is clear that there were indented ballots counted — the fact is that the law is that indented ballots are relevant, and that's the proposition for which the Florida Supreme Court cited that case." Mr. Lavelle, in his corrected affidavit, wrote, "My mistaken recollection was that the trial judge counted 'indented or dimpled ballots' where light did not shine through. In fact, the trial judge only counted 'indented or dimpled ballots' that light could pass through." washtimes.com
