This is an email from my godmother/aunt:

Forwarded from Kirk Ballin <LifeIssuesKB@aol.com>:

The election of Al Gore or George W. Bush as President may depend on the resolution of voting irregularities in Florida. Reports from Palm Beach County indicate that a confusing ballot set-up in that county led to thousands of votes mistakenly going to Pat Buchanan instead of Al Gore. And there are reports of other voting irregularities as well. Florida Governor Jeb Bush, brother of George W. Bush, must bear ultimate responsibility for the integrity of the results to be reported by that state. Call on Governor Jeb Bush to ask for a re-vote of the Presidential race in Palm Beach County.

Not that I expect Jeb Bush is going to listen to a guy from Virginia . . . but I tried.

The problem with a revote is that it is not just a chance for the confused people to clarify their vote, but also a chance for everybody else to change their vote.

You may think that the confused people should be able to clarify but is it really fair for every Naderite in Palm Beach to get to change their vote to Gore as well?

I’m sorry - hasn’t the party line been “Why do you think that all the Nadar votes would have gone to Gore, anyhow, they could have decided not to vote at all ya know…”
