>Do you know who these "divining" people are? Which methods of "divining" are they using? And what is this "divining" - I 've heard of is somewhere before. Maybe you'd explain what "divining" means? Like how many steps are there and what are they?

How about, looking down a ballot and seeing that the voter voted for every Democrat, then divining that the voter intended to vote for Gore? Or doing the same with Reblicans and Bush. That is despicable.
