This is so diddlying stupid. There is margin for error in EVERYTHING, ask any statistician. The undervote in Florida was by far not the highest in the country. If the Democrats are SO interested in what is fair, then in EVERY state where the election was even close, these undervotes should be visually counted. To not do so, is making the undervotes in Florida count more than the rest of the nation. WTF!?!?
And this impression BS, what a crock. How hard is it to punch out a little piece of paper? I realize that punced out pieces could still cling on, and I agree that the voter intent in this case is so obvious a blind person would see it. But a mark or impression - I think not. Since there is no set standard for judging these impressions, how in the hell is anybody supposed to make ANY sense of this.
I think dark clouds are looming on the horizon, and if what Rip mentioned about electors is true, the next 2 weeks could be some pretty intesting TV. Can you imagine, all of a sudden 3 electors who everyone thought were voting Bush all of a sudden said "Gore" when the time comes? LOL! - I'm sure a riot would ensue. Worth some laughs, at the very least, those Japanese/Korean Senate brawls always have me rolling in the ailse.
