Richard, I am thankful we are heading toward finality. Also, I do believe you will see significant legislation to close loopholes in the process for future elections. In every negative situation there can be meaningful things to come from it. In this case, I believe the legislature will act to write stronger and clearer law. There has been a perceived compromising of principals and perceived violation of their sacred oath by the four democrat Florida supreme court justices. I would think there is a real possibility of an attempt to recall them. I pray we can, subject to Monday being successful, enjoy some reunification under the Bush administration. Right now there is a lot of division and if Gore would elected that would be exacerbated. Best wishes to you.

Re: "I say obvious because it was perfectly circular and of the right size to have been made by a stylus. The only way I can conceive of such an imprint's having been made was if the stylus had been pressed down firmly, and met some kind of resistance from underneath the ballot. So if they're counting that as a vote, I don't see the problem, as it's not something that could be made with a fingernail." However, the testimony of a Cop in the Saul's trial showed that a person can pull back with his/her stylus, not intending to vote at all. Such a person may rely on the rules printed on the ballot itself which say, essentially, that if it isn't broken out, it's not a vote. Such a person wouldn't bother to get a new card, believing he didn't vote as intended. That's the problem I see. To count votes not made, even a single one, is a very definition of election fraud.
