The immediate insistence that the Palm Beach voters - alone of all Americans - be allowed to revote - really left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't think Madison and Jefferson intended the President to be selected by the voters of just one county south of the Mason- Dixon line. By all accounts the complainers are well-to-do retirees from New York living in gated communities - at least three strikes against them by my arithmetic. Sometime in the previous month they could have had voting practice - perhaps Tuesday afternoons between canasta and disco dancing lessons.
