RE:"The Republicans made no effort whatsoever to slow down the count"

Dan, you're barking up the wrong tree. Broward county counted on Thanksgiving and finished easily. Palm Beach county took thanksgiving off and didn't finish the complete count by 2 hours. The Palm beach County canvassing board is all democrat. They have no one to blame but themselves...
The FLSC set the deadline. They were all Democrats.
Kind of hard to cry foul on this...
Still, giving 174 more to Gore wouldn't help. Gore has to
either fab some new votes or eliminate some from Seminole and Martin counties. If it comes down to disqualifying votes in Seminole and Martin County, the mantra "every vote must count" flies out the window...
As for shipping thugs, all I say say is that the Dems sent about a thousand lawyers into the sate immediately after the election not to mention Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton from NY who came down to "race bait".
The last thing we need down here is more Lawyers and New Yorkers. <G>
Gore has several chances...albeit slim.
1. Get votes eliminated from Seminole and/or Martin county.
2. Get a hand recount of Dade ballots.
3. Get another hand recount of Palm Beach ballots using a more liberal dimpled chad standard.
4. Somehow get a total recount of the whole state. Perhaps by picking up enough votes in Dade and Palm Beach to get ahead. Or if the US supreme court says that a partial hand recount is in violation of due process...but a hand recount of the whole state is OK...

1. I wouldn't want to be the judge that invalidated those absentee ballots...in Seminole and Martin.
2. Possible, not like like because the Dade canvassing board denied a hand recount 3 times...
3. This one is a real reach.
4. No way to do this before the 12th. Arguement is that if Gore couldn't get aheaad by using 2:1 Dem counties how will be get ahead using the rest of the state.
