While I am not as eloquent as she, I believe that there are many irregularities in the voting that occurred in Florida, and both political parties should accept much blame. However, all the accusations she makes about the “horrifying stories” are only conjectures. They have not been proved at all.
It is hard for me to believe that the voters in Palm Beach County could have been so stupid in the way they mishandled their precious ballots. How hard could it be to punch a hole in the card with a needlepoint stylus, at a point indicated by a large black arrow? We used to have ballots here like that, and it was easy.
Finally, Liz should know that we are not a democracy, we are a republic.
