Winsock,
RE:"You really have no knowledge of the situation. You should get some information before you pop off at the mouth.

Thanks for the kind words...

RE:"1 Slade received a recount by operation of law because the margin was less than 0.5 %

Yeah, so?

RE:"2 Washington uses optical ballots that are much more accurate than punch card ballots.

Does the whole state use optical ballots or just a portion. Can you describe the workings of an optical ballot?
We'd likely have a better system of voting here in FL but the retirees who move here don't want to pay for it....despite voting in liberal government.

RE:"The recount hardly changed the results, as has always been the case in the past.

The recounts in FL didn't change much either...

RE:"The winner in WA has never changed in a state wide recount"

Seems it's rare elsewhere too...
