[lit-ideas] Re: Florida double trouble?

My point was, Julie, that the Republicans (party level) in Florida insist,
publicly, that computer voting is safe, yet they're hedging their bets by
telling their constituents to vote by paper. Whether that means that many
will vote twice (absentee plus in-person) is yet another matter, as you
point out here. One way or the other, it sounds like Florida will be ripe
for a recount again, if the election is as close as predicted.

Personally, I was astonished at the way Dems caved to a Supreme Court
nominee as president. Will the reaction be the same this time, presuming
similar results? Whatcha think?
