1. The manual recounts in Texas have to be agreed upon by both parties.
2. There are Statewide standards for manual recounts.
3. Gore's offer to manually recount ALL of the Florida ballots was simply PR. The deadline had past and even Al Gore can't write new law!
4. If Al Gore had really wanted "all the votes counted"...then he should have asked for a statewide recount.

and last but not least

5. Gore had special "recount teams" on the ground in Florida the day after the election. They used the supposed problem with the butterfly ballot as an excuse to ask for a recount...then dropped it like a hot potato once they got what they wanted.
