" I doubt corruption was zero but it was probably less then many other states and a lot of it was in Gore's favor. Actually even the flaws were probably not the worst in the country they just mattered more in such a close election. Apprarently, you and I have different standards re. corruption. We had a state wide recount for the hotly contested senatorial race and had fewer than 50 votes miscounted. One small FLA county had that many votes miscounted. That is probably more a sign of incompetent system or execution of the system more then it is a sign of corruption. Even if it is corruption the corruption went both ways in FLA. You provide one example (without supporting detail so I can't really question it) that if true is obviously much better then FLA but I didn't say FLA was the best, but rather that it was not the worst, or to use an exact quote the "corruption was...probably less then many other states". I would say the incompetence was "probably less then several other states", rather then "many". One question about the 50 votes miscounted, how do you even know the number? When they recount the margin of error of the recount is probably more then 50 votes, probably a lot more. I think all you can say is that the recount differed from the original vote by less the 50 votes. Tim
