What is most upsetting to me, is a Florida official who calmly mentioned (reported in Friday, 11/10, NY Times, but buried on page 33 or so) that in the last election (2 years ago) 15,000 votes( in one county!) where thrown out because they were double punched. over 19,000 in state!
So they knew they had a problem two years ago, and think nothing of dis enfranchizing almost 20,000 voters! If this were happening in any other country, we would be up in arms and taking away "favored nation status" for election fraud!
the officials in Florida should be brought up on charges--not for this election, but for what happened in 1998!
I voted for Gore, and even if he end up with popular vote, I expect he will step aside for Bush if Bush wins Florida electorate. I didn't want Bush, but I am all for an orderly transfer of power...
