Nadine: — "Six months after a chaotic election in Florida decided the protracted presidential race, state lawmakers have reached agreement on a bill that would do away with hanging chads, butterfly ballots and questions about determining voter intent." "It would also require that ballots in extremely close elections be recounted by hand — the very practice that Florida election officials and the Bush campaign had opposed so fiercely last year in their battle with Democrats who were insisting that manual recounts would tip the election to Al Gore." Do you know how they are doing away with hanging chads and questions relating to voter's intent. If they do this, it will be a great improvement. Little joe

I had no doubt the liberals would misinterpret the Florida bill like they misinterpreted the USSC decision. The USSC action wasn't a liability case. They stepped in to stop a very obvious attempt by a party and a liberal state court to rig an election after the vote didn't go their way. The Florida law gets rid of the main tool of the abortive Democratic fraud, punch-card ballots. Perhaps we will see if it also addresses another major Democratic crime that made the election close nationwide: manufacturing of votes at the precinct level. The 100% Philadelphia turnout will be heard from again in PN.
