>>Later this month, a consortium that includes The Post, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times plans to begin looking at the under-votes in each of Florida's 67 counties. The Miami Herald and USA Today are doing a similar review. The Herald/USA Today review, using accountants, is expected to be finished in Miami-Dade this week.<< >>Because of varying judgments by reviewers on how each ballot is marked and the inevitable human error that occurs when thousands of ballots are examined by hand, results of the reviews by newspapers are almost certain to differ.<< >>Furthermore, experts say no count -- whether done by hand or by machine -- will ever be exact. Computer industry consultants estimate the error rate for counting punch cards could run as high as 1 percent and varies with the number of times the cards are handled.<< Doesn't prove anything as that count stands alone...! All the counties need to be reviewed and tabulated, then perhaps a big announcement all over the air ways. I look forward to the comedians. Your last picture from Alaska..., shows again you have an artists eye to capture the force, flow and balance within a cameras lens. Nice dynamics to that still. Just saw part of an interview with Spike Lee. His latest film was intentionally photographed with a high quality Sony bought of the shelf in an average store. He wanted to make a point to all the under fancied hopeful film makers out there. Have a Good Evening...!
