Again, people who don't follow explicit instructions have no right to expect that their ballot will be properly counted. I have to objection to substituting this for the intent-of-the-voter standard for future elections. I know it's what the Reps want plus it has the advantages of ease of implementation and counting efficiency. Efficiency is a good thing. And surely it will pass muster with the Supreme Court. Of course, you guys have to promise not to whine when some absentee military ballots get kicked out along with all the Dem retards and feebs. Karen

Ron, you do go on and on sometimes, as if you've got everything all figured out. Again, people who don't follow explicit instructions have no right to expect that their ballot will be properly counted Perhaps you missed the fact that some of the hullabaloo we've been going over for the past five weeks in Florida was about the fact that the explicit instructions directly contradicted the design of the ballot in two different counties. So even if the voter DID follow the explicit instructions, they produced overvotes. Now do you understand why your(AND Sandra Day O'Connor) simplistic utopian superior attitude doesn't connect with what actually ahppened on the ground?
