Like I said earlier, every election has disqualified ballots for a variety of reasons. Why should this be any different? I'm all in favor of getting a proper count BUT I am not in favor of the idea of "let's see if we can glean by psychic intuition who this person REALLY meant to vote for." I'm sorry but I think that's just a little bit Out There. Why is it so difficult to just accept those ballots that have an actual, discernible vote on them? Isn't that how it's usually done anyway?

Also, a friend brought up this interesting question - why is it that the Florida voters were only confused by the Presidential ballot arrows, and not the LOCAL ballot arrows? Or are they having these problems with their LOCAL elections too and it just isn't making the national news?
