Counted twice. Try reading/listening.

Headline from Drudge

445 Florida felons voted illegally; 75%
cast by registered Democrats...


Is this an acceptable ratio? Anyway an obvious undercount in Florida.

Hi - Not sure which of the Coltan Gang I am speaking to:)

All votes were counted. All votes were not hand counted.

There are actions with this election that were not fair for both candidates.

-The media early call for Gore cost Bush many votes
-The butterfly ballot was confusing to some. It was however used before in the same county. Neither I or a group of 4th graders had a problem voting for Gore on that form. My daughter also had no problem and she is in that age group. Also help is at the voting booths if assistance is needed.
-Military ballots - Effort to eliminate by dems while preaching count all of the votes. Hypocrisy - Same with other absentee voters they are now trying to throw out.

-Suspect hand counts in Broward County fabricating votes for Gore. If done in an equitable manner by unbiased observers than there would probably be less outcry re: hand votes.
It goes on and on. It is viewed inheritantly wrong by the Repubs that counts only in Dem. counties happened.

Hope this concludes without further damage to our country. Living in the middle east, I see how things are viewed internationally better than most. Our country is being taunted and laughed at in the papers and our democracy called a sham.

OT - Re: world situation/stock market - The vote in Israel alarms me. Sharon was the one that started the latest mess by the visit to the Moslems 3rd Holy Site. If he would get elected watch out. Things are already tense here and even moderates are getting agitated and anti-American sentiment is building due to their perception of USA overly biased siding with Israel. The oil weapon and spreading violence/war could happen if wise people on both sides do not prevail. this in my mind is another possible risk in the market.

Regards
