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". Violation of the law is a violation of the law. A murderer who murdered with a knife isn't given a lighter sentence than the person who killed with a gun. Murder is murder....voter corruption is voter corruption whether it happens once or a thousand times. The vote was very close both in FLA and the nation, and the FLA voting system was corrupted.........to me those are reason enough to have done a recount of the FLA vote. Had it been a Rep. party candidate in Gore's position the screaming would have been loud and clear, and would have continued until there was a recount. Gore was too easy......and that's his karma to work out. ted
