Good evening Lowell! I'm dealing with this issue here on the "Newsnet" side, and don't know for sure if it will really make it's way across, but I hope it will!

So? What's the problem for YOU, dealing with conflicts in shere numbers in terms of ballots cast? I'm certainly not ready to make a 'big deal' over it here in Idaho, however, it still is a hell'a long shot, isn't it? Imagine, over 12,000 votes cast, and suddenly there is an 'exact tie' vote between Steve Elgar and Steve Anderson! Exactly, an exact tie!? Hoexactly do probabilities of such a thing happen? You count the odds of THAT happening! Talley the probable result and send 'em on to me, I'm interested. > Second. If the "public airwaves" belong to "the people," then why doesn't > anything else belong to "the people"? I really don't want to get into all of that. I think Steve raised some interesting questions, and, I have tried to raise other questions into certain probabilities of how things happened the way that they were reported. Hey!'m the Libertarian Party's candidate, and it was expected that I would, as a result lose! BUT! How did the overall results of a direct "tie" in Bonner County, with over 12,000 votes cast, between my two opponents, fit into any of this? I guess that's a question I will never get an answer to, since probabilities of such amount to the impossible! How is it numerically possible for a dead tie to result in over 12,000 votes cast> I'll admit. It might be possible. However, that are the real odds for such happeing? You might as well win the lotery!
