Al Gore said that he would respect the electoral college even if he wins the popular vote. Then after the results came, he did a 180 and said that since he got the popular vote, he is justified to a recount and hand count and blah blah and maybe now revote. You cannot isolate chicanery to the republicans alone. Everyone wants to win. Demagoguery is not strictly illegal, but all this recounting and court crap is out of line. Paul

Scumbria, the injustice I am sorry but I see no injustice in this. If some some voters in Palm Beach County failed to mark their ballots properly, it is not an injustice that this occurred. There were 432,695 votes that were counted in the first count. If there were 19,000 ballots that were disallowed because of votes for both Gore and Buchanan, they amounted to only 4.2% of all the voters in PB county. In addition, if there are 3000 of the 3400 votes that went to Buchanan instead of to Bush because of a mistake the voters made, this amounted to another .5%. So 95% of the voters had no problem voting correctly and 5% had a problem. This is not an injustice. These 5% were careless and the other 95% were careful. Carelessness by voters isn't injustice - it's stupidity. Even stupid people get to vote in this country. No injustice in that. Barry
