I thought they were arrogant and really tacky in insisting that Bush won before the absentee ballots were counted. As compared to the media declaring Gore the winner in Florida in the early evening (also declaring Bush as the winner also at one point)?.. As for the absentee ballots, they are always counted late in EVERY election. But given historical voting patterns, folks generally know who will carry the largest percentage of votes derived from them. How many times have you seen a candidate named a winner in a certain state on election night? Well, you darn sure know those absentee ballots haven't all been included yet, right? After 2-3 electronic recounts that didn't show any major shift towards Gore, and no evidence of fraud, manipulation, or malfunction, I think it was pretty safe for Bush to feel confident in his victory.
