Perhaps a good solution to the Florida vote-counting fiasco is to count only the votes cast and reported by 7: 30pm election night, when by Florida law the total number of ballots cast was to have been made public, this way the law will have been followed and the wrath of the voters in Palm Beach and Broward counties will be directed to the election supervisors in those counties who failed in their duty (if there were really any legal voters who were left out of the vote total).
