<One thing that is being missed is that they used the same ballot for the last presidential election. They even had some the the same problems i.e. a high number of double punched ballots. No one said a word. Why do they have a right to demand a re-vote on this one? > wes.simply,because this time it is so incredibly close in a state who's electoral vote influences the entire world---miscounts,and flim-flams etc.,have been a part of elections through our history,but NEVER EVER in a situation as extraordinary as this----those who bring up Nixon/Kennedy are misinformed,or not being fully truthful--a recount/investigation in the Nixon case would NOT have changed the result of the election,as Kennedy's electoral lead was beyond a number that would have changed the result of the election by further re-count etc..
If the Republicans were to demand recounts in NewMexico and Iowa and Wisconsin---i would support their demand IF it would change the result of who wins.
If Bush were to win WITHOUT a hand-count being made,there would be,forever a cloud over his election---and his legitamacy in question---this would be disastrous for him,imo.
Bush,should,for the sake of the country let the hand-count
occur---for by opposing it,he is implying,that he thinks he loses if that should happen--last count difference 326 in favor of BUSH,per AP.PaxMax |
