Gore didn't ask for the manual recount in other counties because a. there weren't the same level of errors/complaints and b. there weren't votes to be had.

The fact is that Bush knew that by not asking for a manual state wide count, he might be able to use that "lack of a hand count statewide" for his own benefit. To this day though, has anyone found a requirement that a manual recount must be statewide? Since requests are granted by county boards, I would find the statewide requirement a bit impossible to ensure.

Let me tell you, every passing day I am convinced that FL fits the Heller "Catch 22" profile.

Listen, I'm praising the way this Bush team controlled the spin. His team sure could have helped the Congressional buffoons these past few years.
