Of course The Poynter Institute owns the St. Petersburg Times and will try to justify this waste of time.

BTW, I found at least one statement on Poynter's site of interest:"Researchers were required to pass eye exams.

My question is....were they required to pass objectivity exams, since this entire exercise in trying to determining voter intent is in the mind's eye of the beholder!

Of course they weren't required to be objective, don't be silly, LOL.

One thing that I am interesetd in is whether another ballot story will lead to any more interest in how ballots became overvotes - pre-punched for Gore or tampered with after casting?
