On (July 15) the New York Times devoted four and a quarter pages to an alleged analysis of "irregularities" in the tabulation of overseas absentee ballots in the Florida vote. Sunday 7/15 edition, wherein The Times proclaims "How Bush Took Florida: Mining the Overseas Absentee Vote."

Yet somehow they failed to mention that Federal courts had ordered the military ballots counted - but if they had done that there would have been no need for the article - other than to provide pro-Dem spin. And that was clearly the NYTimes purpose even though they had no point since they eventually admit that Bush would have won even if no "mining" had been allowed - except that it wasn't "mining", it was the law.

Would it not have been more appropriate to ask the Times to devote equal energy to determining what the outcome would have been had the approximately 5,000 ballots cast illegally by convicted felons not been counted? Everyone knows those were primarily Dem votes.
