Hand counts have been done for years in close races....There are members of congress today that are there because hand counts have overturned the machines.

You say that this one is illegal.....How so? Both sides have abided by the law to my knowledge....Perhaps not to your interpretation of the law .But then you have not been chosen to make that interpretation.

You suggest that there is a bias by the counters that will spill over into the results......What evidence do you have to support this....Are you aware that there are Republicans and Democrats present with each counter that may challenge any conclusion.That the whole procedure is video taped?

<<. A citizen is not required by some fascist tyranny to make a valid vote. >>

But a citizen has the right to a valid vote that is counted. Hand counted votes have always been considered more accurate......All of a sudden it's in question.........Himmm....

<<This recounting with new standards until the desired result is obtained, is despicable and contemptible. >>

I keep hearing this ......From the Republican side...But it's just not so. The hand counts are the final say so.Gore has said this time and again.It has been done in the past .Why should this time be different?

<<You cannot imagine how this is making America the laughing stock of the world. >>

I hadn't heard this.....Support this please.

<<This is a blow to the U.S. image that will affect foreign affairs for years to come>>

Really?.... How so?
