What surprises me is that you don't see that what we have are two politicians - both of which realize that it is probably over if they lose the election. And very very likely that both would do what the other is doing if they were in their position.

Think about it. Bush the "man of the people" would be out on the streets saying how he wants the vote of every man and woman that voted to be counted. While Gore, the man of technology, would be out telling people we need to trust machines. It is rather odd that we have the opposite actually.

Undercounts are indeed quite common around the country. That is why there are provisions for more precise counting of ballots if the undercount appears to make a difference. If it weren't for the electoral college, we might be doing handcounts all around the country right now.
