Why is it that all the mistakes are going to help Gore. Because only Democrats are counting the votes. And there have already been reports of chads ending up on the floor when they were allegedly firmly attached at the start of the process. Last I had checked five people had sworn affidavits that they had seen the supervisr of elections in Palm Beach County manipulating the ballots. Also, there is the story about the (Democratic) Palm Beach County official who had a voting machine in his car for days. Why did he need a voting machine, especially since he was not authorized to have such a machine in the first place? Could it be that he was punching holes in ballots? And you think this hand counting is going to be a fair process? >Unless >something bad was going on and Bush was somehow fixing these machines. Why is he >so threatened. Why cannot we get an accurate count. See above. >This is what is making them look pretty stupid, and seeing both camps bicker at >each other makes me and other lose respect for them each day. Gee, from your posts I thought you had no respect for them in the first place. >The elections are a joke, I think there have been many mistakes made, and I >think the numbers are off in allot of places.
