I think GOP tactics in this fight have deeply angered Democratic politicians

Excuse me? I think the Republicans are rightfully outraged as well.

The Democrats have DELIBERATELY attempted to change the election laws of one particular state by attempting to sue their way into office.

Gore is the FIRST presidential candidate EVER to contest a presidential election. And he did so WITH NO EVIDENCE of manipulation, fraud, or mechanical malfunction.

No.. Gore's only claim was that a select percentage of voters apparently screwed up when casting their ballots (as they do in every election) and this merited a manual recount.

They sued democratic canvassing boards, DELIBERATELY targeted military absentee ballots, and condoned the malicious attempts of a democratic lawyer to have 15,000 absentee ballots thrown out simply because the GOP attempted to resolve THEIR own computer glitch.

They have seen their claims continuously defeated by the rulings of democratic circuit court judges like Sander Sauls, Terry Lewis, and Judge Clark.

They saw their last FLSC ruling resulted in a split 4-3 vote, which included a BLISTERING dissident opinion offered by Chief Justice Wells, who claimed the FLSC was risking a constitutional crisis by attempting to mandate election laws.

If the democrats should be deeply angered at anyone, they should be looking at these predominantly democratic judges of Florida who ruled against Gore time and time again.

Regards,

Ron
