The Washington Post does a good job at establishing the evidence for Sullivan’s Theory, which is that Democrats can’t vote right. But the salient question is not: did more Dems try to vote for Gore than Reps for Bush in Florida? The question is: how many of those attempted votes would ever have been counted in a real recount? Over-votes are, overwhelmingly, spoiled ballots. Discerning ‘intent’ when two holes have been punched seems to me to be a metaphysical impossibility. I fear we’re going to have settlement in this one about as soon as we know for certain whether Offner or Ashcroft is lying.
