This is not a good start...

Then again, women are always impolite when under stress and emotionally unstable at key points in time. She might have been a bitch to deal with. Maybe it was her delivery that elicited the reaction from the election committee. Anyway, I don't really see Florida needing to do anything messed up to hand Bush the election. He's been ahead in the polls for as long as anyone can remember. Could it be that you are the LOUD minority?

[ No indeed. I couldn't get to the linked article so I can't be sure if this was covered, but presumably an incomplete ballot like this one would end up being completely invalidated. So a missing second page may not merely be a partial disenfranchisment, but a total one. Regardless, this is completely unacceptable. -k]
