I wonder since JEb Bush recused himself to show there was NO preferential treatment to his candidate, then why didnt the woman that MADE the ballot recuse herself? I wont go into it here, since my concerns are written much better in this article.

She will keep fighting for enough votes to get Gore the white house.

"Her Box Started Buzzing Ever Since She Heard The CRÜE"

If you would like to know exactly how your next president will be determined, read this Saturday night dispatch from the Associated Press:

During the manual count of votes in Palm Beach County, Fla., officials switched tests mid-count to decide the validity of the ballots.
In the morning, the canvassing board said that they would count a vote if any of the corners of the bits of paper punched out of the cards called "chad" were punched.

The board then decided that they would instead use the "sunlight test" if they could see sun come though an indentation, it would count.

About a quarter of the way through the counting, however, a board member determined that the light test was flawed and told the other members to go back to the first test.

The change in procedures will undoubtedly slow down the hand count as board members had to go back and recount all of the votes previously counted using the new rules.

Some will point out that manual recounts are allowable by law. However, how can you call what is being described here as acceptable? This is a joke. Machines are impartial. It's that simple. How anyone decided that manual recounts were okay by law is beyond me.

People like to slam Bush's education record, but at least Texans know how to punch holes.
