[HPforGrownups] OT - update from florida A WHOLE BOX?

Ok.  I am calm.  There are strange things happening in Florida that I do not
understand.  Heidi, is this normal?  Calling in 27 prec.'s workers to
recount absentee ballots that SHOULD have been counted by the normal time?
Missing ballot boxes in that one county?  The one that your county found?
This isn't even including the mess with Buchanan/Gore votes in Palm
(something) County with the senior citizens who thought they had voted their
minds, and were wrong.

This election has soo many headaches, and Florida being such a "BIG" thing
in the eyes of the country make these errors, etc. inflated perhaps.... but
they do worry me.  Especially with Jeb (I know, he might be a fair man, or
he might be a crook--I don't know him at all) and his family connections.
