Nadine, before I go to bed, I must say that there is no way in hell, had the positions been reversed, with Bush seeking territorial counting advantages, and Gore crying "unfair," that ANY Secretary of state would have accepted returns beyond the deadline, from counties that would further unfairly skew the fair counting of votes for one candidate alone. It would just be too big of a risk, from her perspective.
I swear, if Harris were a staunch Democrat, she'd have been compelled to do just what she did here.
I know you won't even consider believing this, or try to understand why I believe it. Just try to be tolerant of the other side, OK? The other side is the other half of the country, ya know? The other half just might have an acorn now and then. OH well.
