Hi Debra,
I respect your opinion but I disagree. The fact that they have thrown out
thousands of ballots in the past shows that they have established a legal
precedence for accepting the butterfly ballot (the so-called illegal ballot)
and shows a legal precedence for disregarding the confusion. I'm not a
lawyer, but this history hurts the dems' case, in my opinion and shows that
this situation _can_ be compared to something that happened before. Again,
I'm not flaming you, but I respectfully disagree.

That's a correct report, but in 1996 it didn't matter because there was a
huge
difference in the number of votes for each candidate. There was a clear
winner
then, whether those 15,000 votes were counted in or not.
With a difference now of only hundreds of votes, each particular vote
becomes
incredibly important.
This situation can't be compared to anything that has happened before.
