No you appear to be doing that. I am anxious that they vote their
conscious and that their ballots be counted.  I don't want any
slipshod `councilors' or corrupt local precinct officials getting in
the way as has happened with the corrupt democract precinct officials
and their work force in south Florida.  Why should the Attorney
General of a State have to point this out to the precincts?  Why
doesn't he go beyond rhetoric and _order_ them to do so and do so
immediately.  Their ballots deserve to go to the front of the line and
the counting of those ballots should take precedence over other
ballots. I am outraged over the handling of these ballots in Florida.
