Here's your heat...because if counted, we still wouldn't know. Anyone, especially an undecided voter, can create a dimple, decide not to vote, then rely on the rules which say it must be punched out, to confirm their non-vote. If there is a chance we'll count a single vote(and they all count, right?) that doesn't exist, then we must not count. It's a problem of the machines therefore, which we ought accept, or get rid of the machines. Furthermore, even if my argument doesn't pass muster, these ballots exist in Bush territory too...so clearly, until you count this way across the state, you don't have a fair result known. Hence, you now find Bush requesting the counting of his territory too, if more counting is to take place, and that by golly, is fair indeed. Gore's numbers already contain territorial counting advantages to him, if I'm not mistaken. Gore could lift his image SO much, had he requested in this contest, a counting of both men's territory.
