Timelord,

What makes you think a hand count is anymore accurate than a machine count. Does it come down to relying on an intepretation by a potentially biased human whether one hole is punched more clearly than another hole or are you saying the accuracy of a human counting votes is better than a machine? (Given that all holes are punched equally) Or are you just wanting a Gore win. "and the margin is so slim as to be meaningless" What? One vote is meaningful! One vote more for vs. against is the deciding number.

I am more than willing to wait til the Nov. 17th, not Feb. 17th, but not willing to accept lawsuits, revotes, or any escalation into territory that only brings the U.S down to the level of many other countries throughout the world. Yesterday's news that Gore would not accept the results of the recount, no matter how they turnout (read Gore Loses) sounds like he plans to act as any other recently disposed demagogue.

For the record I am an independent that voted for five republicans, four democrats, and four libertarians.
