Politics : PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

I don't think so Ellen. Would you believe the Democratic assistant supervisor of elections for Miami Dade? If it wasn't machine malfunction then the only reasonable conclusion is that they didn't want either man for President.
Lawyers for Gore have argued
that chad -- the little
perforated squares on the
ballot that count as votes when
removed -- piled inside
voting-booth trays to the point
where they backed up against
ballot punch-holes and blocked
the insertion of styluses.

"I have not heard anyone
complain about that, and I hear
a hell of a lot of problems
that go on at precincts," said
John Clouser, Miami-Dade County
assistant supervisor of
elections.

Care to provide numbers to back that up? Care to answer my previous answer to your suggestion that these machines aren't nearly perfect if the chads are all removed before counting?
