CDR: Bush Florida lead dwindles toward zero...

Bush actually lost votes, a very bad omen for him. Partially detached chads tend to come off during repeated runs through the tabulating machinery. This recount is occurring without a court order, it's provided for by Florida law. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/politics/12WIRE-PALM.html # # November 12, 2000 # # Palm Beach County Orders Manual Recount of Bush-Gore Vote # # By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS # # WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Palm Beach County officials ordered an # extraordinary countywide recount, by hand, of the more than # 425,000 votes cast in the presidential election for Al Gore and # George W. Bush. # # Gore added 36 votes and Bush lost three in a machine recount # of Palm Beach County in Florida's disputed presidential balloting. # A hand count of selected precincts turned up enough errors in # the election night vote to prompt county election officials to # order a complete recount by hand. The vote early Saturday was # 2-1. # # "This clearly would affect the national vote," said Carol Roberts, # a county commissioner and a member of the canvassing commission. # # Election officials said their exhaustive manual recount found # numerous differences from the machine count. Roberts said the # errors point to potentially 1,900 errors county wide -- more # than the existing statewide margin between Bush and Gore. # # At stake is no less than the presidency, since Florida will # deliver 25 electoral votes.

CDR: Re: Ruling Says Parents Have Right to See List of Sites Students Visit
by Bob Jonkman 12 Nov '00

I want to tell you what An Metet <cypherpunks(a)openpgp.net> said about "Ruling Says Parents Have Right to S" on 11 Nov 2000, at 0:41 > In an opinion sure to heighten the tension between some parents > and school systems over the Internet's role in publicly financed > education, a New Hampshire judge has decided that a parent is > entitled to see a list of the Internet sites or addresses visited > by computer users at local schools. And so I wonder if this applies equally well to the "blocked site" lists used by blocking software that a school might use -- as a parent I want to know exactly from which sites the school is protecting my child... (and not merely the sites my child has attempted to access and been blocked from) Perhaps the blocking software companies who sell to schools and libraries may need to disclose their lists based on this decision! --Bob

A prime example of machine counting being unreliable. [New Mexico] http://foxnews.com/election_night/111000/new_mexico.sml # # The county withdrew early-voting and absentee ballots Tuesday # night after officials discovered a glitch in the computers used # to tally votes. The machines would not read ballots carrying # straight-party ticket votes that also included at least one vote # for a candidate from another party, election officials said. # # The machines' supplier blamed the problem on how county officials # programmed the machines.

Tim May, the heavily armed hate monger who refers to ZOG, and , his extreme right wing malitia friends have missed there chance. Certainly the 400 of us needed killing before we influence the American Presidential election.
