11/17/2000 : Lewis KO's Gore !
Florida judge Terry Lewis this morning ruled for Secretary of State Harris in that the hand counted votes do not have to be included in the Florida Presidential tally. As I understand, the codified Florida recount accords, there can only be a hand recount if there is widespread fraud or a voting machine breakdown. Speaking of voting machines, the Votomatic they found in the trunk of a well know Florida Democratic State Senator gets about as much mention as Jackie Kennedy smoking Marlboro's and specifically dying of lung cancer!
11/16/2000 (12:28PM): Only One Way to Count !
When ballots are designed, the preferred method to tally them is also designed. Together, these two devices, the ballot and the means to count and record it, are agreed upon by all interested parties in the honest desire to produce a system to deliver the most accurate and expeditious totals. When either device is modified, most certainly after the ballots have been expended, chaos is certainly introduced. In many Florida counties, we find polling places that use the 'butterfly' punch card ballot (which Mr.Wonderful used without complaint or error for years in Arizona.) A punch card ballot that is specifically designed to be deciphered and deciphered only  by computer-machines. Humans have never had an easy time with punch cards. This is because they were conceived and indeed designed to be batched together and fed into the maw of IBM computers that would then 'instantly' spit out highly accurate results. These results have become so universally accepted and without flaw, that for decades, the only explanation for a computer 'error' has been the phrase, "Garbage in, garbage out." In this case, the "garbage in" has been, without a doubt, the result of a small percentage of voters (or other interested individuals) who failed to entirely press out the perforated punch card chad. This was not a arduous task. If the system had been designed to detect hanging door, swinging door, tri-chad, dimpled, or pregnant chads it would have detected them. However, all parties agreed, long before November 7th of 2000, that only chads that were pushed entirely clear of the card, be counted as a vote. And these machine counted votes in Florida have twice determined Governor Bush the winner.
11/16/2000 (9:00AM): Harris Grants Boies' Wish !
Yesterday Florida Secretary of State, Katherine Harris granted Gore Attorney David Boies' wish by enforcing the legislated cutoff date of seven days after the election for accepting ballots. Harris announced "the reasons given in the requests are insufficient to warrant waiver of the unambiguous filing deadline imposed by the Florida Legislature." Gore fans believe that she is being partisan enforcing the law codified decades ago by the Democrats and Republicans inhabiting the Capital in Tallahassee. What most of the major media, who typically vote Democrat, are missing in Ms. Harris decision, is that the entire purpose of the "Seven-Day Law" is to prevent vote tampering! To prevent exactly what is happening. Let's be frank here: Rabid Democrats are insisting on recount, after count, after recount, of which Bush has won three out of three. These same Democrat Dirty Dogs also believe that to end the life of a child prior to her tiny pink toes exiting the birth canal is simply a choice, while many, many Americans believe it is murder. So what's a little vote tampering to get your man elected? . . . when compared to out and out murder?
11/15/2000 (12:45PM): David Boies Lies !
At his press conference this morning David Boies, the attorney who crushed fellow Democrat & successful businessman Bill Gates (remember, 'they' eat their own) lied to promote the Gore-Team agenda. He whined that ". . . every day the Secretary of State has imposed a new deadline." Say what? Being considerate and thoughtful, she extended the legislated deadline by twenty-one hours to allow the partisan boards to explain, in writing, exactly why hand recounts are indicated. In regards to the hand counting of the ballots, Mr.Boies wished the Supreme Court of Florida would supply the definition of "an objective indication" of the voter's intentions. How about a f***ing chad that was completely punched out enabling the machine to accurately count them, you lying bastard? The third turd he delicately passed to the disbelieving media was that ". . . Republican's have hand recounted . . . " Republican counties in Florida. I did a quick check of the only counties in the Dum-Dum State that conducted hand recounts and they were Volusia, Broward, Dade and Palm Beach all counties Gore won! Three lies and you're out Mr.Boies!
11/15/2000 (9:02AM): Katherine Harris Asks Supreme's to Stop !
Katherine Harris MSNBC.com reported today that Ms.Harris, Florida Secretary of State (now being attacked as an "attractive" "wealthy" Republican) asked the state's Supreme Court for two things. The first was to halt the third count of the Florida ballots in order to determine the exact need for that third count. And the second reason was to transfer all the lawsuits involving, as Gore says, "What the people want," to the capital in Tallahassee. Inside sources conjecture that the Gore team is under heavy pressure from Democratic Senator's and Representatives to bring this episode to a quick end.
11/14/2000 (7:02PM): Harris Jerks the Leash !
At around 5:00PM Arizona time, the Florida Secretary of State announced that current, certified returns showed George W. Bush with a 300 vote lead over Al Gore, Jr. She stated that the three counties that desired a second manual recount must turn-in written statements to her office by 2:00PM Eastern Time, November 15th, 2000. These statements must explain the "facts" and "circumstances" why those county's election officials feel these recounts are required. (After the Gore machine throws their squadrons of lawyers into the task of scribbling out these requests, they will be some of the most expensive scrolls since the Dead Sea versions.) Your MW feels that Ms. Harris is requiring the written statements in order to not appear "arbitrary" when she declares George W. Bush our next President!
11/14/2000 (5:25PM): U.S.S. Cole & Absentee Votes !
I learned today from a link at the Drudge Report  to the Washington Post  that the pair of sailors on sentry duty aboard the U.S.S. Cole, were armed with empty 9mm automatic pistols and each carried only two rounds of ammunition with him. Also it has been revealed that no sailors were manning either of the two large machine guns that the $1,000,000,000 warship would use for close-in defense. Anyone who has fired a 9mm pistol realizes how absolutely laughable it is that the sentries carried between them only four bullets and were thus expected to protect the billion dollar battleship! The contempt with which the Clinton/Gore administration regard the military and the ignorance and timidity which they cradle this dangerous world was exposed to all. Hopefully this sentry situation aboard the Cole  was common knowledge to Floridian's serving in the military prior to mailing in their absentee ballots. MW is still not sure whether Florida's absentee votes have been received, counted and included in the counts we hear, or if they are sitting in some forgotten corner waiting for the last of them to trickle in from overseas so they may all be counted at once this Friday, November 17th.
11/14/2000 (5:00PM): Judge Lewis Confirms Harris !
Today Democratic appointee, Florida Judge Terry P. Lewis confirmed that Katherine Harris had no obligation to accept votes past the legally mandated time of 5:00PM this afternoon. However, he did add that she "may" accept results after that day and "may not" reject changed ballot results arbitrarily." What the hell does that mean? Regardless, I understand one of the lawsuits the Gore campaign is behind is attempting to allow "pregnant" or "dimpled" chads to be counted as a vote for Gore. Think about this, what if a person changed her mind or made a mistake and didn't punch the chad fully through, resulting in said "pregnant" or "dimpled" chad? I think if this lawsuit becomes known by the general public, and the Gore campaign's effort to win at any cost is exposed, all but the most rabid supporters of Al Gore will abandon this ridiculous rigged recount effort.
11/14/2000 (8:00AM): Christopher says, "Harris Motivated by Politics" !
Florida Secretary of State, Katherine Harris, an evil Republican, is termed partisan when she insists that the Florida Statute mandating the end to ballot counting today is a law! What the major media doesn't seem to understand is that 1) This law was enacted prior to 1974 and 2) The entire purpose of the law is to prevent tampering with the votes of the citizens of Florida. To say that foreign votes don't have to be received and counted prior to this Friday, doesn't change the wording of this law which was written to prevent vote tampering. 3) Should the Gore team now be allowed to rewrite this Floridian law in court because it they find that it tampers with their desire to tamper... er, uh, recount the vote? I believe the official title of the law is "The Daley Law" named in honor of William Daley's sainted father, "Mayor Daley" of Chicago, Illinois, home of the butterfly punch ballot.
11/13/2000 (4:30PM): Senator Clinton, "Dump the Electoral College !"
Are you beginning to understand why Mr.Wonderful never argues politics with individuals who don't first prove to me that they are well-read and logical? Don't know what I'm talking about? Notice the heading above: "Senator Clinton." How are Senate seats appointed? Each state is given two Senators. This is so the more populous states don't steam-roll over or totally ignore the wishes of the less populous states. This is the same identical reasoning that gave birth to the Electoral College System  Hillary! By the way, even though you have partnered with both Satan and Bill, you looked mighty fine Wednesday morning.
11/13/2000 (10:00AM): Fuzzy Math, Half-Truth = Truth to Dems !
Mr.Wonderful, arising early on Sunday, not to watch the frivolous pro-games most American males, after donning their high school football helmet & gear do, but to witness the future of this Republic being discussed. As I examined the Sunday morning "news shows", there I saw Mary Matalin, sane spousal partner to "Colonel Cueball Carville," exposing another Democratic lie. The Dem's emphatically say that Governor Bush passed a law in Texas in which it was written, "Hand ballot counts are more accurate than machine counts." Carville sputters ,"How can Bush be against hand counts in Florida and for hand counts in Texas!?" To which his wife serenely responds that that seemingly inconsistent stance is due to the fact that over 90% of Texas counties use ballots that are designed to be scanned by optical readers. And ballots that are produced to be deciphered by optical readers are also easily and clearly marked by voters and later confirmed, if need be, by the casual human eye. Unlike the punch ballots that are being hand counted by Democratic apparatchik's in Florida. Remember these punch ballots don't have a label indicating that a certain punch hole is for Gore, another for Bush, another for Adolph Buchanan. The human viewers of these IBM  punch cards, must count 'chads' manually up, down, and sideways to discover which missing, hanging or partially detached chad indicates a vote for a particular candidate.
11/13/2000: Secretary Says "Time's Up Warren !"
Your Mr.Wonderful just heard on the news that the Republican Florida Secretary of State, Ms. Harris, announced that she will not extend the time to hand count ballots past the legislated and codified limit of 5:00PM this Tuesday. Mr.Warren, also known as Mr.Potato Head Sr.,  claimed the ruling was "arbitrary". From Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary  I read, "arbitrary - subject to individual will or judgment without restriction"  It would seem to me that if there is an existing, written law or regulation regarding recounting ballots, that this response could hardly be called arbitrary.
