Anyways, thanks for that link Toad. Couldn't find a whiff of Florida voting law in any of those several thousand links though. Care to point it out for me?

Anyways Toad - if you can point out to me on that site where a re-vote is out of the question on legal grounds I'd be grateful.
Yes, I think this will result in some reforms. Obviously in ballots themselves. I also hope for more precise identification and confirmation of legal voters. I'd like to see more careful oversight of voting times, places and the ballot boxes themselves. We've taken all this for granted too long. It's quite obvious now the process is too important to treat casually. It has underscored the importance of one vote.
I'm not "dinging" you for being a Canadian and perhaps I was a bit premptory there. However, I do get a bit miffed at times when people don't avail themselves of the information available to them with a few quick clicks on a Web Browser. I apologize for being a bit short, I shouldn't have included you in that opinion.
IMHO, a revote on a National Office isn't really a Florida issue. That's why I pointed to the FEC link. There is a reason why we all vote on one day.
I don't think it would be reasonable or fair to allow one state to re-vote for President after they have had a look a what all the other states did.
Would anyone approve of an election in 2004 that made 49 states vote on the 1st Tuesday of November but let California wait until the 3rd Tuesday?
No, that would be patently unfair and incorrect. Yet this is essentially what some want for Florida.
