Hanging chads redux anyone?
In a case reminiscent of the legal battle that clouded the 2000 presidential election, a federal appeals court panel questioned Thursday whether California’s recall election should go forward because six counties still use the flawed punch-card voting system. Lawyers … argued that a statistical study showed 40,000 poor and minority voters might have their ballots excluded …. In what
appears to be the last major legal challenge to the recall, the panel heard nearly two hours of arguments before taking the case under submission. The panel did not say when a ruling would be issued, but lawyers said outside court that they expect a decision early next week.” (09/11/03)
So we can expect Dems to claim Arnie “stole” the election then. Is it me, or are the Democrats in California looking and more desperate in their attempts to keep Davis in?

Rush Limbaugh once acquired once did a test. He got a genuine punch-card voting machine and conducted a test. He says that the only way he could create “dimples” is to put more than one card in the voting machine at once. I’ve heard that a few others reported the same experience.
Hmmm…
