some Florida voters may have consciously decided to skip the presidential line while others intended to punch the card but failed to completely dislodge the chad because of the decidedly poor design of the punchcard system

This is true in all states but what we need is a better voting system going forward. To allow a recount now is to open this up to opportunities of corruption. We have a system, a poor one maybe but we should not change it after the fact.

How can ballots be held up to see if there is a slight break in it? a dimple? a bump? it is ridiculous to go to this level. What is next, we do it in all 50 states? get real, we have to accept the results and change the process as we go forward.

If the Rehnquist-Scalia axis succeeds, tens of millions Americans will agree that two centuries of democracy in the
United States have just been betrayed -- not by a state supreme court applying long standing state election laws,
but by a radical right-wing cabal on the U.S. Supreme Court.


I think you are right!
