I saw the coverage of this on See BS tonight. They reported, without any comment, the court's conclusion that using punch cards could invalidate 40,000 votes - putting a graphic on the screen showing the number 40,000. If true it would be a good argument, but where did this number come from? They didn't say. Chances are the ACLU just made it up, and the liberal judges simply repeated it in their decision.
They also said the court relied heavily on the SCOTUS decision in Bush v. Gore, wherein using different methods of counting votes, i.e. counting dimpled chads in a couple of counties, machine counts in the rest. What does that have to do with using different kinds of machines to register the vote? They're two completely different things.
I agree that they are two different things also.
