I discovered only after I posted to you that I had received two posts from two different threads re Seminole County. Again, here is how we felt about Seminole County: "Yes, from the excerpts that we saw from the Court Proceedings on PBS News last night about SEMINOLE COUNTY we think the way that the absentee ballots were handled was wrong!!!! But the Court has not reached a decision on the Seminole County case as far as I know. ********************************************************* And from Time Magazine excerpts that explain why we are upset with the absentee process in Seminole County. "County Elections Supervisor Sandy Goard, a Republican, allowed Republican staffers to add voter ID numbers to some 2,130 absentee ballot applications, most from registered Republicans, and 1,932 of those resulted in a vote. A state anti-fraud law requires that absentee ballot applications include nine pieces of information from voters, including voter ID numbers. Technically, then, 1,932votes most of them presumably cast for George W. Bush — are invalid. ****************************************************** The plaintiff's case got a good p.r. billing from Gore himself Tuesday — "The Democrats were denied an opportunity to come in, denied a chance to even look at the applications, and those applications were thrown out," he said. And that could be the pivotal issue: whether or not Republicans got favors from Goard that Democrats didn't. time.com ****************************************************** Actually, you don't have to respond to my post. I don't mind because I don't like to write responses to posts. Mephisto
