Subject: RE: BS: 20% Canadians Flunk Butterfly Ballot
"Right to vote" and "intent to vote" are not the same thing.
If is can be shown that the machines were defective, the dimples would be more logical. The Gore camp did not use the Mass. case in their appeal, but an Illinois case, and it has since been revealed that the Gore lawyer-Bois(sp?)- lied . He is under investigation by the Bar Assn.
No one has denied that the Gore camp had every right to ask for a recount. It's just that they seem to keep asking that the rules be changed, going from hanging chads to dimples; stopping the State Supervisor of Elections from certifying the election on the date required by law; asking for an extention of time in defiance of federal law; and they are losing in court right down the line.
I appreciate your support on the military ballots. I, too, believe that every legitimate vote should be counted. Maybe someone, somewhere, will come up with a foolproof system.
But I'm not holding my breath.
