Reply #36: Thanks for this post. The Times et al. carefully buried the real story--the overvotes. [View All]

They buried it under a host of meaningless scenarios.

Florida law is perfectly clear--a ballot that shows the intent of the voter is a legal vote. Overvotes show the intent of the voter. The over-votes should have and would have been counted if the Supreme Court hadn't violated its own CONservative vow of non-interference of states' rights issues, of which voting is a prime example.

Seeing the headlines, "After Recount, Bush Still Wins" just made me want to puke. The fix was in, and American democracy as we were lead to believe in it was dead, killed by the ruling class for money and power.
