Dan, Dan, Dan. Stop shouting already. "requesting territorial advantages"? You'd better review Gore's offer to recount the whole state if that is what Bush wanted, but Bush rejected that proposal.

Al Gore personally extended a proposal to end the ongoing battle over presidential ballots in Florida, saying he would accept the results of manual recounts in a select number of Florida counties, added to state and overseas absentee ballot totals, as the final word in the 2000 presidential contest.

"If this happens, I will abide by the results, I will take no legal action to challenge the results, and I will support no action to challenge those results," Gore said.
Gore then said, should his opponent, Republican George W. Bush prefer, a full recount of all Florida counties could be conducted. |
