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... I believe the absentee ballots must be postmarked no later than the day of the election and must arrive no more than 10 days later. Bush and company never said they don't want to wait for those ballots to be counted. They have no choice but to wait. It's the law. THE WATSONYOUTH

Ted Re..Bush and company do not want to wait for those ballots to be counted<<< Does this sound like the Dems have any intention of abiding by the vote recount friday. TedRE..."Contrary to claims being made this morning by the Bush campaign, this election is not over," Daley said. "Again, we want the true and accurate will of the people to prevail, and that means letting the legal system run its course. "If, at the end of that process, George Bush is the victor, we will respect the result." Do the republicans want the election over shortly. Y E S They have too, because the more Jessie tries to start a riot; the longer the protestors start parading in front of the cameras; the more public pressure they bring to bear, the more likely that the judges will be forced to ignore precedent and open PB up to a revote; which most people agree, Al would win, because of Nader factor alone, plus of all of discarded ballots, Gore would likely win more than half. I am not talking about the 30K ballots that were thrown out. I am talking about the absentee ballots. You may be; but that is not what Daley is talking about. I heard the news friday, and one of the dems lawyers was talking; and when asked what they meant by will of the people, replied, " I believe more people when they set out to vote, had decided to vote for Al Gore." In other words, they want the discarded votes. 30000 votes is a lot of votes, just as 15000 votes last election was a lot. The problem should have been taken care of long before this. But it was the democratic party, which controls PB which shot themselves in the foot. We wouldn't need all of these riots and busloads of lawyers to try and fix something which they should have fixed a long time ago. Either candidate should abide by the recount plus overseas ballots. Further legal quagmires will just hurt the system, and the incoming president too much, and we will have another 4 yrs of deadlocked gov. Can't we all just get along?
