Ok, you took issue with my comment “faulty ballet counting”. I think that any system that relies on individual interpretation of whether a little piece of paper is a “hanging chad” or a “pregnant chad” as a factor of determining who was being voted for is completely ludicrous, especially with the technology at our disposal today. Also, I’ve seen several of the reported “confusing” ballets that were being used in Florida and as a person who has studied user interfaces I could certainly see why people were getting confused. Add to that the controversy over minorities being turned away at voting centers, recount after recount, and something about overseas military votes being ignored or lost or whatever it was, I can’t remember, leads me to think that the whole voting process was faulty.

Of course, I wasn’t involved in the counting, so I all I know about it comes from the news media. Considering all the accounts I read about during the whole thing I think my comment is justified.
