If Bush had won the popular vote, would you still try to consider it a "non-issue?" Somehow, I don't think so.
PLEEEEEASE DO NOT try and read my mind. I know the Democrats think they can do that with the voters in Florida, but it doesn't work. I look at the election like any contest, whether it be a football game, basketball game, etc. You don't change the rules in the middle or after the game is played. So if Bush had lost the electoral college, but won the popular vote, I probably would have thought, gee that sucks, but that's the way it goes.
No one is trying to 'steal' anything. It is just so close that it can really be considered a tie.
I'll use my game analogy again, a win is a win is a win, whether it's by 50 points or one point. The person ahead at the end is the winner, there are no ties in close games. If the rules of the election stated "if the vote in Florida is close enough for an automated recount, the contest will be declared a tie. In case of this tie, the candidate with the best legal team shall win the state", then maybe you would have a case.
On the attorney general and the overseas ballots, I will say: Are they being counted now????? NO! So then the situation has NOT been corrected. Therefore, I would not expect the republicans to "let go" of this issue.
