CDR: More blather from the DEMS on FL
While the recount of the FL ballots is going on the Democrats are now complaining about the format of the ballot and threating legal action. It seems that the ballot is "confusing". The complaint is that the double sided ballot contained 2 columns on each side rather than one. I personally used the FL ballot. It was large, well printed, and quite legible. Anyone who was "confused" by it's format is just too dam stupid to vote. I am starting to get the feeling that the SC is going to decide this election before it is all over. :( -- --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.

Even better tactic: CNN just reported that the Little House in the Ghetto nursery school found an abandoned voting-box full of Al Gore ballots... er, some election worker must have forgot them there last night. Better get them into the count.

Anyone know what the law on this is? One would think that they would have to maintain some type of "chain of evidence" with the ballots. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.

Just heard on CNN that the "found" ballot box in the black section of Miami, guarded by black cops, may be offset by a "found" box from West Palm Beach. Probable events: Other ethnic interests are scrambling to find their own extra votes. And postmasters at military bases in Europe are scrambling to postmark some special votes with the magic "November 7th" date. Whichever side wins, they will be accused of stealing the election. Hilarious. I'd laugh, except my life may depend on the outcome. (As much as I dislike Bush and most Republicans, it's the Democrats in D.C. and Sacramento who are forcing me into either surrenduring my rights or shooting it out with them. The Dems are populist fascists and should be rounded up and gassed.) --Tim May -- ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.

I personally used the FL ballot. It was large, well printed, and quite legible. Anyone who was "confused" by it's format is just too dam stupid to vote.
I am starting to get the feeling that the SC is going to decide this election before it is all over. :(
"It dis-crim-nated 'gainst da homeys." Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are calling rallies to get certain results "investigated." Marches are planned. And Jeb Bush has flown back to Florida to supervise the recount. Yep, I think that whatever result is finally reported, the recriminations and charges of election fraud will continue. We'll have another president addressed as "Your Fraudulency." Sounds good to me. --Tim May -- ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.

One has to admit that there is some sweet irony of radical left wingers voting for Pat Buchanan because they are too dam stupid to figure out the ballot. Social Evolution at work.

http://www.salon.com/politics/feature/2000/11/07/results/index.html Supervisor of Elections Theresa LePore, a Democrat, insisted any confusion was unintentional and defended the layout of the cluttered ballots as necessary to get all the presidential candidates on facing pages while making the type large enough for voters to read. "I was trying to make the print bigger so elderly people in Palm Beach County can read it," said LePore. She also said if it was so confusing, someone should have pointed it out to her earlier. "We sent out sample ballots to all registered voters, and no one said a word," she said.

As I understand it each county in florida uses a different balloting system, so just because *your* ballot was easy to read does not necessarily mean they all were. Not knowing what county is in question or what county you are in, or if the two counties are different whether they still manage to use the same ballot, I'm not sure if your information is relavent or not (I really would like to see the questioned ballot..would it be so hard for someone to go scan in a sample one so we could at least make an informed judgement on such things...nah, that would make too much sense) Ph.

I had corrected myself in a followup post. The ballot that I used was quite different than the one used in Palm Beach Co. There are a couple of sites showing the ballot in question: http://www.gopbi.com/news/local/ballot.html http://cnews.tribune.com/news/image/0,1119,oso-nation-82373,00.html -- --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
