Rick, Are you suggesting that the right to manual recount provided in Florida law should be ignored. >>As far as standards...the standard should be that if the chad is not totally punched out it does NOT count. Really quite simple. No room for error there. No subjective opinions. No room for someone over handling a ballot and causing a different outcome. Peter, recounting of any kind changes the outcome in ways that can not be controlled. It is not right for subjective judgements to determine a voter's intent...or to handle the ballots so many times that the risk of spoiling is extremely high.<< I don't know if your opinion about manual recounts is right or wrong, but we all know that your choice for president signed a manual recount provision into law. >>but I find it rather amusing that once again that when an issue to boiled down to personal responsibility...the Democrats always come up for a reason to shift it to the government and away from the individual...<< The Bush team took the case to federal court. These issues are not black and white. We have two supreme courts that could not come up with a unanimus decision. This is really cool stuff!!!!! Pete
