Politics : Why is Gore Trying to Steal the Presidency?

Far be it from me to second guess the U.S. Supreme Court, but it does seem curious how the Bush people want to do everything to prevent a manual recount when at the same time they want to allow virtually all the military absentee ballots to count.

This really opens Pandora's box. Every state election law I know of insists on (1) evidence the ballot was postmarked the day of the election or the day before the election (depending on the state), but NEVER after the election, and (2) that the signature on the envelope containing the absentee ballot must look the same as the voters signature on record with the local board of elections.

So now we have the Bush people saying, "don't verify the military absentee ballots; count all of them." My, my, how interesting, considering that they also say, "don't count any more ballots in Dade County."

Who is stealing the election? After all is resolved, what will be true is that Gore got most of the votes in Florida, even if the State and the Supreme Court said all the votes didn't have to be counted or recounted. If Bush wins, he will become known as the first president to steal the election, with help from his brother.
