Here we go again! Just like in the election in Florida, 2000 by trying to count legally cast ABSTAIN votes (= blank spaces, or dimpled chads) as votes FOR a candidate!

Now the democrats AND the Republicans will both be trying to "GORE" this election!

To "GORE" an election is to count ABSTAIN votes as votes FOR yourself!

What is needed here is for the election officials to count in the vote totals all the ABSTAIN votes ( blank spaces, or non=punched chads) as ABSTAIN votes!

I do not think that a recount here will degenerate into the type of fiasco that there was in Florida. This state will not put up with that kind of garbage, and our laws are clear on how the recount is done.
