"Part of my anger with the circus in Florida is that the Republicans whipped up the idea that no Democratic election official could be trusted to do his duty." I can only assume the other part of your anger was that Al Gore SUED two of the same democratic canvassing boards you talk about for not counting votes the way HE thought they should be counting them (which was a VERY liberal standard indeed). That is a big part of my anger. Fortunately my anger has subsided because justice was done, and now America has a glimmer of hope again. It must be hard for you to justify those completely opposite and inconsistent positions. Just to recap, the republicans were mean by saying "they're casting votes, not counting votes!", yet the democrats are noble to SUE these very people in the court of law? Got it.

Nadine, did you watch the Broward County board in action? Do pregnant or dimpled chads constitute a vote 100% of the time? LoF

Nadine: "It is the public duty of elections officials to impartially oversee elections, and I believe in letting them do that." I agree with the first part of the statement and I wish that they would do that. However, that is not reality. I have been involved in politics since childhood and I know the kinds of things that are done by elections officials and in many cases these officials are party hacks who do the bidding of their party. As for Florida, I can't say that anyone was dishonest, but I can say that anyone who believes that it is fair to change the standards of what constitutes a valid ballot from election to election, and even during the recount, has a peculiar idea of fairness. I don't care who won. I suspect either Bush or Gore will probably not be a great president, but I could not believe the stupidity of the process that was employed. Also, from my experiences in elections, I would never agree to permit election officials to alter a ballot. This amounts to destroying the evidence if someone wanted to contest the ballots. Lastly, IMHO there is far more election fraud than we will ever know. Little joe
