No lawdog...that's where the whole problem lies..."intent of the voter" is not a "standard". Each county selects their own way of counting...in other words, they are the ones making the decision on voters intent. Judge Lewis threw up his hands last night and put that decision making right back in the hands of the county canvassing boards. The courts have either been unable to, or refuse to set a standard...Bush's objection from day one. Thus, we have different standards of counting being used in each county. Intent of the voter means absolutely nothing except that it leaves open the question of fairness...
