Quoted from WSJ by: VRWC 11/10/00 8:45 am Msg: 196014 of 196014 Poor Florida. It is being put under a national microscope to determine the credibility of its voting system. No surprise, what we're seeing is that the results aren't always particularly edifying. There is no basis in law, however, to believe that demanding that a vote be restaged because of "irregularities" in Florida's election system, or any other state's for that matter, is going to survive in court. Were that true, there'd have been hundreds of restaged votes in this country. Mr. Gore, Mr. Daley and all the Democratic lawyers know this. Their case about irregularities and confusion is merely a pretext for finding some friendly jurist who will overrule the voters in an excruciatingly close contest. This is a destructive course of action for the Republic and the Constitution. Also, by the way, for a Democratic Party already tainted by eight years of its own irregularities, that is to say, by a habit of trashing the rule of law in the pursuit of political advantage.

It is illegal to vote after the fact like that WITHOUT ALL OTHERS having the same right..... If that was the case then every ballot cast after the first results started pouring in at 8pm EST was illegal. With todays communications capabilities those on the west coast had 3 hours to see how things were going in the east before making their decisions...so what difference does it make if the residents of Palm Beach get a few days instead of a few hours to finally make up their minds.
