Thanks for checking out our Dent coverage, Texxs; can you believe she got re-elected?

Jack said:”The computers worked flawlessly”

Where on earth did you hear that?

Are you joking or some kind of repub-a-bot?

I thought we did find out what happened. The computers worked flawlessly.

However, the design of the ballot was confusing to some — just like some people were confused in Bush-Gore — they thought that voting for both candidates counted as a vote for Gore — or that pushing a chad all the way through for Bush, and partially the way through for Gore counted as a vote for Gore.

Jack, I voted for Jennings, so you might think this tainted, but I want to simply find out what happened, even if we agree beforehand that regardless of the outcome, we won’t retroactively remove Buchanan and install Jennings. Why is that ridiculous? Isn’t it worth taking the time and money to get it right next time?

While we’re at it, why not re-count Bush-Gore 2000. Other possible re-counts could include Humphry-Nixon “68, and Kennedy-Nixon ‘62. After these re-counts are finished, it would be cool to see the losing side demand another re-count — then the side that came out on the losing end of that re-re-count could challenge the outcome all the way to the Supreme Court.

I almost forgot Bush-Kerry 2004, and their controversial Ohio primary result. A re-count is definitely in order there.

Here in Florida, it’s good that we not longer use the “punch cards” that we used in the 2000 Presidential election, and I hope that we will no longer use the “touch screen ” machines that were used in the 2006 election.

Whatever the next method of voting is, if my side doesn’t come out on top –I wanna recount!

I think we are ignoring the obvious fix – job sharing.
