Can someone write a script to count the votes in Florida?

I'm getting tired of listening to it on the news.

I think this is the script that they are using now.....

code:

$bush = 0
$gore = 0
$3rparty = 0
$vote = readline(1,"ballot.txt")


do
Select
case $vote = "Bush"
$bush = $Bush + 1
case $vote = "Gore"
$gore = $gore + 1
case 1
$3rdparty = #3rdparty + 1
endselect
$vote = readline(1,"ballot.txt")
until $gore > $bush

Exit

What was it Jay Leno said???

George Bush is the governor of a state where children can't read

Jeb Bush is the governor of a state where the adults can't count

This one has even got up europeans stumped, guys - it shouldn't be a problem to count some votes in a country that sends 300 billion dollar spacdeprobes to Mars... oh dear, wasn't that also a calculation error? bad example... *grin*

the last few space probes to mars were very, very! cheap, (as far as space probes go).

Little Addition:

- The Russians were very surprised what all the pooha was all about. They even offered to help count the ballots, cause in Russia counterfeiting ballots is as common as buying bread.

- When the Serb President, Milosovic, was elected, all hell broke lose over the fact that he may have cheated with the votes. The US was very upset but when the cheating was in theirs it was ...uhmm ...well.. ehm.. well I don't know.

Whatever your position on this topic, I can't help but admire the clever marketing genious that somehow managed to put this brand new political reality soap on our screens.
