"What gore said yesterday on 60 minutes is that democratic apps were tossed"

This is where I think the dems obfusicate things. 4,700 applications for the repubs had a printing error (not an error by the applicant). These were allowed to be fixed. Some dem apps apparantly were not allowed to be fixed. I believe that these would have been from applicant error though, not a group that was not produced properly.

Note that my assumption could be wrong, and that some of the dem apps may have been misprinted also. I agree that if the same thing happened, both sides should be able to fix it. I have not heard the dems say that they had the same problem (printer error), so I am assuming they did not. We all know what assuming can do, though.

**OT**

Rather than speculate on whether and to what extent there were Democratic absentee applications rejected, I suggest that we watch the court testimony on CSPAN. Otherwise, it's too hard to separate facts from spin, as the news media always excerpts things, and this creates a large opportunity for distortion, intentional or otherwise.
