I know you never want them counted, but they will be.

You're right, I don't want them counted. Ever.

The reason is because the public will never understand that they were counted with arbitrary standards. This won't help the Bush presidency. I think we all want to see lots of compromise in the next two years. If this election never goes away, that won't be possible. I know you're a moderate just like I claim to be. I want to see the right wing and left wing lose power. If the Congressional middle could assert itself with the blessing of a Bush White House, I would be a happy camper.

TG: one of the real tragedies of this election, which has received little attention with all the legal wrangling is the overvote. Even if you disregard the undervotes and acknowledge that no vote for president WAS the intent of the voter, there are far more(4x more) overvotes statewide, many of them in PBC and Duval, where voting instructions were not consistent with the structure of the actual ballot. We will never know........
