Joe,

I am basically coming to a conclusion that the election will be stolen from Bush.

That is strange. I thought that it was already stolen from Gore.

RE:"I am basically coming to a conclusion that the election will be stolen from Bush. The hand count in Democratic countries will do it. How hard is it to punch a second hole in Bush ballot to make them invalid, while nobody is looking."

This is what I'm saying too...
Only hope is that the overseas absentee ballots heavily favor Bush and I'm not sure because of the Israeli vote...

I haven't become that cynical yet (no offense) to have thought of that scenario. I have no problem with a recount. I have no problem with a hand count (since nothing can be finalized until at least next Friday any way due to the absentee ballots) if past experience has shown them to be more accurate. From what I've heard, that is not the case and I can certainly understand that. So, it seems that the possibility of further controversy after the second recount is very high. Where this will lead I really don't know. But, there are certainly more bad scenarios than good ones. Very unfortunate.

Joe,

Your comments are a little like locking the barn door after all the animals have been stolen....its a little late for those concerns now. At this point, they are unnecessary.

Further, you don't have anything to worry about. If Bush loses, its because he deserved to lose and not because the loss was manipulated.
