It's more like the opposite Dave. This election is a virtual tie. Since the election ended, Bush has maintained the lead. After a non partisan machine tabulation, Bush came out on top. Any "cherry picking" of certain stronghold areas could result in either candidate gaining votes to turn the election.

Our fear is this: Gore will be allowed to go into a stronghold area he controls, gather up a couple thousand votes, have them counted by any standard (which by the way changes, depending on the ongoing results) and change the tide. From our side, we could also go into a Bush majority arena and do the same. Where should it end? The fairest thing is to take the non partisan results from the machine tally (unbiased) and live with the results. Anything else (hand counted)can and will be manipulated by subjective counting.

Ten years from now no one will know who got the most votes. Let's live with the fairest most non partisan result.

Have a good one.
