Re: It is absurd to have all these counties continue to recount the vote by hand and yet not have the vote counted. Is that good for the country? The way this thing is headed is that Gore will probably pick up the necessary votes he needs to beat Bush in Florida by a hand recount but the votes won't count. That doesn't sound like a healthy situation to me. Actually, it is has quite dangerous implications down the road. Quite the contrary! The ruling-out of extratime recounts will bring steadiness to the US's foremost ballot because it will DETER any such lawsuit tactics from happening again in future presidential elections! DO YOU REALIZE that if Gore's hack lawyers are allowed to successfully challenge the presidential ballot in the 2000 poll THEN the next one will ALSO be disputed in the court room, and on, and on.... And such a prospect will further discourage the American constituency from going to the polling booth. Indeed, people will say, "Oh, why the hell waste our time in voting for those finaglers --the loser's gonna contest the winner before the court ANYWAY!" This is a test case: whatever the outcome of the manual recounts, IT SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT for the sake of all the USA's future ballots --unless US authorities can find a way to make a nationwide election 100% "skulduggeryproof".... Bottom line: in a healthy democracy, it's not up to the court of justice to tell the people whom they've voted for.... Gus.
