a revote will NEVER happen
far too many constitutional vote questions

votes will be discarded
votes will be counted
no new voting will take place
no adjustments will take place in light of past historical data

biggest consequence might be new ballot for next election
and scapegoating a few local ballot officials in WPalm

I can't imagine a revote without a nationwide revote. Really. You can't have a partial revote, whether a county or a state--probably there are other ballots thrown out for mistakes--in principle it makes no sense! :-)

I think Gore should come out and concede now. Two counts, Bush won both.

<<If Gore is successful in getting a Palm Beach re-vote, I believe the re-vote should be expanded to all Florida resident and absentee voters. Why should a select few -- even if they punched the wrong button -- be able to re-cast a vote, having information about returns everywhere else, when all other voters cast their ballot without such knowledge. Should those few be allowed to cast a ballot again, and choose whomever they now wish to vote for? It is impossible to know who they intended to vote for last Tuesday, just as it is impossible to know if they have changed their intent over this time, with all of the press coverage and knowledge of other results.>>

My beef is with all the video's they have showed showing Bush Voters in line waiting to vote and then getting quiet and disbanding without voting, when Florida was first announced to Gore. If they let PB vote again, they need to let the whole state vote again......This would be a travesty...if thats the case, then all states should have equal rights to vote again..... Then they can miscount them 3 times all over again...sheeesh!!!!what total crap all this is!!!
