Personally, I think the FL recount should stand, whatever it is.

Exactly....no matter what the outcome, I hope the candidates have the good sense to honor it. If your report is correct and Bush loses the hand recount, I hope Papa Bush would talk him into honoring the process. After Christopher and Daley announced that they were questioning the validity of the entire count in Palm Beach....the Republicans immediately started making noises about challenging NM, IA and Wisconsin.

Whatever happened to falling onto your sword for the general good? Ashcroft seems to have done this in Missouri....I hope that Bush/Gore learn the lesson.

The internet is a truly amazing thing. I had actually seen that email already. I bet the volume of emails about this election is simply staggering. I was shocked to see about 200 messages on curmudgeons today alone.

From what I understand, we may have four states (wisc, oreg, flor, new mexico) with a margin of less than 5000 votes. NH was also close, but I don't know the margin. Truly amazing, and hopefully something which will encourage further voter participation in the future.
