Windseye;

As is typical of the pro-Gore camp you engage in gigantic leaps of logic. The problem is not with your suggestion that manual counts are superior to machine counts. They may very well be. The problem is allowing hand and eyeball counts to occur without consistent standards applied equally in each and every county of the state. Indeed, standards varied within the same county! (an obvious violation of the 14th amendment). The problem is in the fact that the Fla supreme court called for a cut-off at 5:00 p.m. on the Sunday after thanksgiving and then reneged on their prior order and extended even further. The problem lies in the fact that the Fl supreme court ordered manual recounts in counties where no contest had ever been filed! The problem lies in the fact that the Fl supreme court ordered partial recounts rather than full recounts. Don't forget 7 justices were convinced that the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment was violated for each of the reasons set forth above and many more. The disagreement lies with the remedy not with the fact that the Fl supreme court issued an opinion you could drive a truck through.
