Point one: words like "crook" are unnecessarily inflammatory, and bound to
inspire nasty retorts.
Point two: I'd love to see, in detail please, exactly what you think the
Gore campaign set up and how they did it.
I just read a fascinating 1988 New Yorker article which described how easy
it would be to steal votes in elections that use punch ballots. The experts
quoted in that article endorsed hand counts as an antidote to computer
fraud. Hauntingly, the article stated that a presidential candidate
probably could not manipulate the popular vote via computer, but that in a
close election he could certainly manipulate the electoral vote.
