I listened to the arguments also. I thought there were some good points raised. Now onto your message.

1) Machines are objective since they treat both candidates in the same way. There is no argument about that, even from the Gore side. Your suggestion of apportioning "rejected votes" via a percentage is silly. It seems that you want to disrespect the rights of a voter who doesn't want to vote for president because he doesn't like any of the candidates.
2) Butterfly ballot is a separate issue. People who couldn't read the ballots properly should have asked for help, they abrogated their responsibility and nothing can be done about that. It is not at issue in this case.
3)The idea of revoting in a single county is ridiculous.

Your arguments give me a hard time with your assumed sanity.
