WE just want the votes counted correctly thass all sir.

Excuse me?

I believe they have been recounted SEVERAL TIMES already, in a manner that ALL OTHER American's votes were counted.

So I guess it depends on who's votes you want recounted and in what specific areas.

The law's intent is create fair and expeditious election process. It obviously not perfect (as that Republican who lost by 13 votes discovered when Theresa LePore denied HER request for a recount several months ago), but IT IS FAIR.

There simply has to be some limitation to how many times votes are recounted. Otherwise, the electoral process will become incessantly delayed and manipulated by those who would like to drag this thing for their own advantage.

Manual recounts exist for those instances where fraud, mechanical malfunction, or manipulation become evident. Otherwise, any particular candidate in ANY ELECTION could legally have the right to delay the expeditious execution of the electoral will of the people as a whole.

And that means every one of the many more states that voted for Bush instead of Gore.

Florida, an in particular, Palm Beach, do not have a right to disenfranchise the rest of the nation.

At this point it just doesn't matter who the president is since neither will have a mandate. What IS important is having finality at the end of this week when the absentee ballots are counted (and they still could go for Gore if the Jewish ex-patriots in Israel all voted for him).

Regards,

Ron
