They want a hand count to delay the process until they can find a reason to legally overturn the election; or have one of the three lawsuits heard by a sympathetic judge. Jessie doesn't care about legal. He just wants to start a riot unless he gets what he wants. No, the matter I am referring to is the vote count. There are several thousand absentee ballots still coming into FL. At a minimum, they need to be counted before anyone does anything... Agreed and yet, the Republicans want to push that aside. Now why is that? Could the existing vote spread of only 300+ votes have something to do with it?<<<<<< The republicans couldn't stop the counting of the overseas ballots even if they wanted too. What the republicans want is to have the ballot counted in this election just like the last one and every one before that. Which means, no matter how close the election, without any evidence of fraud, the double punched, or double marked ballots should be thrown out this time, just as they were with a 20000 vote margin. Whats the difference. Rules are rules. Jessie wants a revote. Of course the 300 vote margin has something to do with it. That is the whole basis for the DEms argument. If GW had a 25000 vote lead, you can bet the 19000 votes wouldn't have been an issue. Harry, I am not talking about the 30K ballots that were thrown out. I am talking about the absentee ballots. They have not been counted. The State of FL has until next Friday to count those ballots. I understand (and I have to check this out) that people have up to 7 days after the election in which to mail the absentee ballots. In any case they must be in no later then ten days after the election. Bush and company do not want to wait for those ballots to be counted. ted
