OK, I Read It

If you want to become your enemy for the sake of winning, I suppose that's your own business, but personally I like to have my integrity at the end of the battle.

Re: OK, I Read It
Date: 2004-11-03 08:19 am (UTC)The biggest issue seems to be the provisional ballots in Ohio. I haven't heard anyone say this, but is it possible that there might be a higher than usual number of them due to all the challenges issued at the polls? Am I understanding the process correctly? Of course, I gather only about 1/3 are generally found to be legitimate votes.
This Rove individual sounds interesting, in an awful sort of way. The point about people voting because of anger and fear is sadly true. I know many people who voted for either Kerry or Bush even though they disliked both intensely. They simply feared the other one more.
