Hopefully each county will categorize in a similar fashion... such as 25 hanging chads, 12 pregnant chads, 3 dimpled chads, 2 pimpled chads, and 1000 points of light for Bush (oops, wrong Bush) and 800 hanging chads, 239 pregnant teenage chads, 42 dimpled chads, and 0 pimpled chads for Gore.....that way if a standard gets applied after the fact it can be applied without another count.

Then we won't have to do the same thing all over again late next week, while the Nasdaq crumbles.

I think it was right to order the recount, FWIW.... just need to articulate a standard at some point along the way....

My stand from the beginning is just be consistent.

Without a standard for what is and what is not a valid vote, there can be no consistency, just subjective interpretation.

The whole thing disgusts me.
