njrazd,
The adding of the voter numbers did not have any affect on the actual ballot.
It is beyond me how you can say such a thing. If those applications had not been illegally 'corrected' then those republican voters would not have received ballots and would not have been able to vote. Without their (presumably republican) vote the outcome of the election may very well have been different.
And as to the votomatic machines being full, or taking a long time to fill, how about if they had been stuffed as were the ballot boxes by republican cheating partisans to nefarious electoral thievery?

Thank you krs, looked at it, but I don't read online magazines or newspapers. I also don't watch CNN the most biased news there is. But thanks for the thought.
Yes the Supreme Court voted 5-4, still a majority. Yes Gore won the popular vote, but that is not how we elect Presidents.
Recount? Yes, I believe in recount, but do it all, do the whole country.
Margin of error in all counties in all states, you are going to come up with a different outcome. Do it twice, thrice... do it, but do the whole nation, not the select couple Democratic counties.
About the applications that workers marked the registration #'s on. Those were applications, the votes were cast. They were cast legally. The vote by the individual voter in each case.

No. The voters would never have been able to vote without the 'correction' of their applications.
Tell me, if, as you say, you are uninformed about these matters and, again as you say, you have no substance to back what you do say here, why do you post at all?
Re-spouting partisan dogma will not by any miraculous act make it true even if they've got you believing that it's the will of God.

You are correct krs. Why do I post at all. I have no 'substance' to back anything up. I don't go to search engines, and websites.
I am not going to sit with books, and type out word for word what I read. No, you Borillar can have at it. You can post your urls and have your following, pot stirring-yes.
If you want things changed you need to go out and do it. There are many places and things Americans can do. Become active in politics.
No more at all from moi. I said that before Borillar when you were questioning the intelligence of posters, but thats it. When I hear it from krs, 'why post at all' then I leave.

Wow I go away for the holidays and I see everything that I get accused of going on while I am a away. For Shame, For Shame,
Now on that election. It is over and we have a PRESIDENT SELECT. Hey its not going to be that bad of a four years. Now for all of you who voted for that tax cut. It appears that the President Select forgot to consult with his REPUBLICAN Pals in Congress on that amount. We already have the Speaker POINT BLANK telling him cut that number down.
So I think its going to be an interesting four years. You can bet I'll be watching the local legislatures in the States rewrite those ever so tricky wicky election laws.

krs...the reason why the judges denied that entire lawsuit about the absentee ballots was because the applications had nothing to do with legitimate ballots. Had the constiuents not gotten their absentee ballots with those applications, then they could have gotten them directly from the County (instead of the party) or they could have gone directly to the voting place on election day. Do you think these people would not have voted at all because their application was not processed correctly?
And why would the Party bother to fraudulently tamper with applications? The applications themselves do not mean squat unless the voter signs it and returns it to the County so an absentee ballot can be sent to them. If the County received an application without all the correct information AND signature on file, then an absentee ballot would not be issued and the voter would have to show up at the polls.
And during any given election, I receive at least 2 absentee ballot applications from various sources, depending on the races being held. Again, the applications themselves do not contain any information that is not available on public record.

Republicans: Enjoy your four years! And George W, do Florida a big favor: Take your dumb a_ _ brother and Ms. Corilla Deville with you!!!!!!
Democrats: In these four years, we could be allowing people like the dummy in the earlier posting (who lost 4K in the stock market) with their own Social Security funds. You go W!
My mom's words of wisdom: "He's not my President - he's just the dufus in the White House." Words to live by!

nearthesea - You don't have to explain why you post to anyone except maybe them moderators.
borillar - I can tell you are very upset over this election thingie. However the election didn't destroy our democratic process. It does cause one to question our Judiciary though. The President was elected and although we will always wonder what secret those uncounted ballots hold. We have to accept that the processes that we have in place worked. They might not have worked liked we wanted them too. Heck they might have even been tipped in one way or the other. But we have to deal with them and go forward.
Besides the popular vote has never decided an election. I posted in your thread about the Constitutional amendment. However I think the amendment should go a little further than clarify counting votes. It should barr any State whose count is in question admission to the college.
We have a President without a clear mandate to govern. However he is President and is forced to earn his mandate from the people. I am willing to give him that chance. Are you?
