That's ridiculous. Votes which were cast have been counted. The palm beach standard has been agreed upon by most to be the correct standard. Dimples belong on faces, not ballots. On ballots, they lead to very subjective interpretation which can't be construed as the "clear voter intent". Come on, you Gore supporters, do you understand what a "clear voter intent" means ? I saw JUDGES counting ballots on saturday for the Miami-Dade county undervote. Do you know that 132 ballots were under dispute, 90 went for Bush, 52 went for Gore ? THE FACT THAT 132 ballots are under dispute when the judiciary looks at the ballots, means that no clear voter intent can be gleaned on those ballots. They are the dimpled kind. It DOES NOT SHOW CLEAR VOTER INTENT. What Bush signed into law is immaterial. If the legislature wanted to pass something, he is NOT going to read each and every line and approve. Nobody does. On the face of it, it looks like a good attempt to judge voter intent, it is not.
