Michael, I'll answer your question if you'll answer mine. Are you saying that you also say "Do not count the ballots if not punched through". No manual recounts in Florida because the voters did not technically follow the rules?

OK, here are your answers. And thanks for agreeing to throw out all the votes of those who did not follow the rules. With your help, maybe Gore will win yet. <Do you think it's fair that ALL those chads not torn completely out in the rest of Florida should be disenfranchised, and count less than the Democrat counties of Miami, Palm Beach, and other Gore places?> No, I have said many times that I think that two things are most important. Throw the criminals in this election in jail if proven guilty of fraud or any law-breaking endeavor AND count ALL legally cast votes if the intent of the voter can be ascertained beyond a reasonable doubt, as per the standards of manual recounts throroughly accepted in other states. <Do you honestly NOT see how the statistics of the state could easily be changed if you ONLY count dimples, hanging, scratches, and pregnant chads in Gore only controlled counties?> Yep, I do see and if you read all my posts you would have seen that I said that I am not in favoring of counting dimples either. I think the intended vote has to be clear. I think you err on the side on not counting a vote unless it is clear (i.e only 1 or 2 corners of the chad remaining unpunched)
