Give me a break. This is not football, where the consequence of a bad call ends the next day in a few newspaper articles. We are talking about the legitimacy of the US presidency here, in the eyes of the nation and the entire world. True but 1- While the importance of the issue is greater it does not change the point that it isn't cheating. Because of the importance of the issue you can argue that not allowing x number of recounts is wrong but wrong or right it is still not cheating. 2 - I think subjective recounts opens up the whole situation to a greater posibility of actual cheating as well as honest but stil biased counting (or unconsious cheating if you want to call it that). 3 - I find no reason to think another round of recounting would make the vote any more certain. Even baring any fraud, your still guessing what you think some one voted on the dimpled chad recounts. Even if all the counting is done by people with no bias (or who are able to totally put aside their bias), the results could be different on each recount for any number of recounts, esp. if different standards are used for the different recounts.
