When I think of hand recounts, I think of this.
Remember Gunzburger.

Bush as the winner of the 1st and 2nd count would not logically want another count, hand count or otherwise. Your candidate made the fatal mistake of requesting re-counts in "cherry-picked" counties to "mine" some hand-counted votes. (see above). He's having trouble getting it and YOU claim it is Bush's fault because he would not agree to a statewide hand re-count. This is the way I see it. Gore was disingenuous at first and then tried to be magnanimous to hide this. Too bad. It is a loser's actions. Would you set down and play cards with this guy? Would you even play tennis or golf.? Gore really believes in "no controlling legal authority" You're right that he's trying to win. He's getting his day in court, many times over. I believe in the Republic so I could care less if he wins the popular vote. You will never prove he won Florida now, except maybe to yourself.

Re-counting the 3 counties will create a two-tier voting system and the Supreme Court will frown on this. It is too late for Gore. It might be worth noting that there were 73,000 undervotes in Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Broward. There were more than that in the rest of the state, 87,000. Guess Gore just overlooked them. Too bad he took the loser attitude in the beginning. I'm blaming him.
