Seeing there is 350,000 more registered Democrats in Forida than Republicans, I don't know why the Florida
Supreme Kangaroo Court doesn't just declare Al Gore the winner in Florida by 350,000 votes. I mean, clearly the intent of the voter is unimpeachable, or they wouldn't have registered as they did, right Greg?

And of course this idea is applicable in other races as well. For instance, New York has 2 million more registered democrats. So why make Hillary Roddam go through the embarassment of only winning by 700,000 votes, in effect losing 1.3 million of her original stipend? Wouldn't it be better for her self-esteem, Greg, if we just had the Supreme Court of NY declare her the winner by 2 million votes? I know I would be eager to support such a wonderful "intent of the voter" upgrade in our archaic proceedures, now that Florida has shown us the One True Way.
