Party,

In our earlier discussion, you said the Florida Legislators should be scared that they won't be re-elected. If that is so, then why did 2 Democrats vote to send Bush electors?

Which county? I only watched the testimony for Seminole County, not Martin. In Seminole, both parties sent out preprinted cards. The Democrats had the request forms sent back to their campaign headquarters, for goodness sake!

I don't think anyone should be disenfranchised because of what I consider to be a technicality. If the Seminole and Martin ballots are all thrown out, the people disenfranchised will be black, white, old, young, Democrat, Republican, Independent, and disproportionately numbers of the disabled.

Not to mention that this would violate the Federal Voting Rights act and be summarily vacated by the United States Supreme Court.
