Mike,

A few observations about the election and the Supreme Court decision.

In my mind it's impossible to know for sure who won Florida. There was a ton of political spin, a lot of cherry picked hand counting, illegal ballots tossed on both sides (that were clear in intent) etc... Then there were other issues like understaffed districts, the early call of a Gore win etc... that influenced it.

The thing I am certain about is that after 30 seconds of the first day of hand counts it was obvious to me that without standards that were defined prior to the election (like Texas has) the process was seriously flawed and certainly biased and unfair. I think we wasted 5 weeks.

I demand a recount of Supreme court votes. Who were the 2 that didn't have a problem with the process used and often changed midstream during the handcounts? :-)
