How did Florida GOP campaign workers know that they had a 100k lead on the Democrats in absentee ballots?

They knew a long time ago that 100,000 more Republicans than Democrats had requested absentee ballots. Quit seeing monsters behind every tree.

<<Why is the recount going to take 2 days when the original count only took about 6 hours? >>

I imagine they are also checking to see that all who voted were registered and alive.

<<How about the 3,000 people who received unclear voting instructions and voted for Buchanan instead of Gore? >>

It was a democrat who designed that ballot.

<<What about the ballot boxes that mysteriously vanished for a few hours? >>

Thanks for bringing that up. 3 hours AFTER the poles closed it was "discovered" that some boxes were missing. Bingo, they showed up under democratic control. Mysterious is the word.

The turnout was much higher than normal, which is the probable reason for more absentee ballots then anticipated. The GOP was counting on the absentee ballots reflecting the propensity of military people to vote for Bush. I have no idea why the recount is taking longer. It is my understanding that the rules imply that not all absentee ballots need be in yet. The other stuff is nonsense........
