In a mayoral election in Miami in 1997, a judge threw out all the votes and appointed(or had a hearing commission appoint) a new Mayor. The more I learn, the more convinced I am that election problems are like a sacrament in the state of Florida. TG

I just noticed something. When the Secy of State of FL gave her preliminary results, here is what she announced after 53 counties had been recounted: Bush 2,909,661 Gore 2,907,877 That's a difference of 1784 and doesn't track with Associated Press data for 65 counties which shows a 225 vote lead for Bush. Here is what the unofficial results were after Tuesday's vote(prior to the recount) as shown on MSNBC's web site: Bush 2,909,135 Gore 2,907,351 What's up with that???? That is also a difference of exactly 1784 votes...what are the odds of that? Who is running the asylum in that state?? TG
