Idn'dat strange? -vbg- Just finished reading a fairly balanced treatment of Theresa LePore, the butterfly ballot, and the Palm Beach recount - highly recommended. gopbi.com From the conclusion: >>She can laugh, a little. But unlike Burton, she's not comfortable in the limelight, or with public recognition. And her role in this is far more complex and problematic. Especially when people say she cost Gore the election. "I think I had some responsibility," she said about the butterfly ballot. But she was quick to add that voters must share the blame. "An individual needs to take responsibility for his actions, regardless of what those actions might be." She voted for a full recount last month, but now she doesn't think hand counting ballots is a way to settle close elections. "Any time you interject humans into the process, objectivity goes out," she said. She would prefer leaving the counting to the machines. And what about all those hanging, dimpled, and pregnant chads? "Voter error," she said.<< gopbi.com
