7. Oh please. Not counting votes in a democratic society is undemocratic
and unAmerican by definition.

Sheesh.

4. When a vote is close and there is a recount the republican candidate always
sues and uses whatever means they can to try to have votes not counted. Bush went to the Supreme Court to have Florida stop counting votes in 2000. Norm Coleman is trying to prevent votes from being counted in Minnesota right now.

5. What in the world is his argument? I can't even imagine
Fer crissakes, if a clerical error resulted in absentee ballots not being counted, on what grounds could he possibily be trying to keep those ballots uncounted????

Astonishing. And yet, not surprising.

6. True
for them many people voting is a terrible thing. Purging voter rolls, depressing turnout and throwing out valid votes is how they won every major election since 1968.
