"If I recall correctly, all three of those instances had the people you name pushing for more ballots being counted, not less. Obviously we need to set standards. When questions arise, however, I favor erring on the side of enfranchisement and counting people's votes."
You recall only half correctly. They wanted more ballots counted if the ballot supported them. They wanted ballots excluded if they supported the other candidate. On the Democratic side, they tried very hard to exclude military ballots. J - If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. - Samuel Adams ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:331916 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
