Perhaps Bill Simon should have tried to have them thrown out and had those votes for Davis disqualified. Could you imagine the outrage on the left if a repub pulled this kind of stunt?

<<What really pisses me off is the "Moral Racism" of throwing out punch cards because they "discriminate against minorities.">> We use the punch card ballot in Illinois. It doesn't take a genius to stick a stylus in a hole and push.

I think the argument is that punch card machines are more prevalent in minority districts than non-minority districts, and since they have a higher failure rate, will skew the election results slightly.
