And I must point out again, the most likely cause of the famed "dimpled chad" is from the mechanics of fraud. Ain't it puzzling why the only dimpled chads produced were Gore ballots? They almost got nailed. The upside to this is that they killed the goose that layed the golden chad of doubt. They will have to find a new way to commit fraud as the old way became too visible on the radar screen.

Q: "Why were more errors like this made by Democrats than by Republicans?"

True story: When I was in Palm Beach last year I entered an apartment complex unfamiliar to me and stepped onto the elevator. A little old lady standing next to the panel asked me what floor I wanted and I said "26". There was no "26" button so she pressed "20" and "6" and said to me "that ought to do it"

I wonder how she voted.

Where did you check this story out from? The "Hey We Made This Up" library?

The Nazis found that in a vacuum if you say something enough times people will eventually start to believe it. But there is no such vacuum here in America because of the free flow if information. The only people that believe this Dem/liberal/socialist spittle about Gore winning are the ones that have a vacuum between their heads.

Let's see it's coming up to 2 years since the election. HAS THE LEFT COME UP WITH ANYTHING OF SUBSTANCE SINCE THEN?

African Americans may have made errors because of the anxiety they are likely to feel at the polls, where in the not-very-distant past they would have routinely faced threats, violence, police harassment, and worse.

Let's see I was asked to produce ID at my polling place before I could step into the booth {SHUDDER} ... I think my vote for Bush should be counted twice just because of the stress factor.

My favorite line from the FL election debacle:

Democratic Party = "CONFEDERACY OF GANGSTERS".

True then. True now.

[blackdog]

Oh so true.....They most likely plan the following...."Throw a juicy, inflamatory, DNC written word bomb into the Free Republic website and watch them masterbate with the keyboard for hours on end. Meanwhile we can go on unseen with our nastiness while Freepers stroke away."

Must have been her meds. Of course, she didn't know you were a secret agent going to your secret lair (since you told her you were going to the 26th floor and there was no 26th floor button. Oh, wait - you meant the roof, right?

I did. But by some horrible mistake my name wasn't on the ballots. I blame Bush, the Illuminati and the Skull and Crossbones for this.

Did you tell her "I'm Batman"? Even Batman has to vacation once in a while. Palm Beach is a pretty good spot to go undetected in a 26th floor Batcave. Those Batmask tan lines are a dead give-away though.

Yes.

And again we have the question of what constitutes a vote and what is not a vote. What is a vote means that the eligible voter has FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS. What is not a vote means the alleged voter did not follow ballot instructions, did not properly register, was not eligible to vote, or was too dead to vote.

Counting every "potential" vote is not the same as counting every eligible vote. For example, if that were the case, my potential income could be much greater than it is because had I done some things differently in the past, I could have saved and made much more money. But I can only count the income I have now. What opportunity I had in the past has been squandered, much like the idiot voters who cannot read a ballot and follow the directions.

Careful there! The supreme court has ruled that the IRS can tax you based on what they "estimate you really made" vs. what you claimed, even with documented W-2's in hand. This ruling was handed down as a method of dealing with those billionaire waitresses, golf caddies, hotel doormen(persons), and intersection windshield washers. Unfortunately it does not define any single profession in the case. It can be applied to anyone at any time. Ironically, one would also be guilty of tax fraud if the IRS decides to apply this method in your case.

Now I understand. It is considered more difficult to win against an incumbent. The Dems think Al Gore can win in 2004 if he is an incombent. They still have 2 years to find some more votes.

Good catch. Ya think old donotdelete is a demorat plant?
