Uniform standards are great when people make uniform marks, but people don't .. I've counted ballots and seen it first hand. There is nothing wrong with the "voter's intent" standard, and there is nothing wrong with having people contest ballots so such ballots have to be looked at more closely. To be a repeat parrot: Showing just a little of the ballot is very misleading. The voter’s intent would be taken from how the rest of the ballot was marked among other things.

I disagree, though. There should be uniform standards used and it is not a safe bet to use how the person voted in other races as a means of discerning voter intent. People split the ballot all of the time. Interestingly, both of the ballots voted for the Republican for US House.

Don't worry about some biased report on FOX. We don't have all the facts. Let's just let the people involved sort it all out. I'm sure the true winner will be chosen. Go Senator-Elect Dr. Octopus! Ahh! Don’t worry about some biased report on FOX. We don’t have all the facts. Let’s just let the people involved sort it all out. I’m sure the true winner will be chosen.

Go Senator-Elect Dr. Octopus!
