It is stuff like this I am VERY concerned about: MOSCOW (Agence France Presse) - Nationalists in Russia's parliament have drafted a resolution demanding the right to observe the U.S. presidential elections, voicing "profound concern" they will be falsified, Interfax reported Tuesday. The resolution says the State Duma (lower house) has "profound concern about the danger of falsification of the results of the U.S. presidential elections, particularly in Texas and California and other territories that were forced to join the United States." It adds that since the United States is a world superpower, "the presidential election campaign in the U.S. must not be considered an exclusive internal affair of that country." The Duma draft, which is yet to come up for a vote, suggests the UN Security Council should confirm the November 7 presidential ballot before it can be declared valid. ((c) 2000 Agence France Presse

Doesn't it make you feel odd that Gore ballots stick together more than Bush ballots? Half of the change 1400 or so changes come from one county (out of 67 counties), where the "unsticking" is something like 7.5-to-1 (nearly 800 vs. a little over 100), several times higher than even the total Gore-to-Bush ratio in that county. Most other counties are only reporting differences in the single digits, with a few reporting dozens, but nowhere near the upper triple digit discrepencies that is coming out of WPB, which btw has a democratic election office. Does this not raise concern about what exactly is going on in the re-counting process? or simply statistics improbability need not get in the way of a Gore victory?

The process could be endless. Just how many recounts (machine or hand) do you, (or more important, Gore people), consider adequate. 2,3,5,10 or until they win?
