Carl, I agree with you on this and i think that nobody should object to manual recount, if a manual recount can get us closer to find out what did the people of Florida say. Using sampling techniques in one or all counties to see if there is a discrepancy between the computer counting and the manual counting is also an acceptable approach. The decision to recount should be made state by state since the constitution left that responsibility in the hand of the states, not the feds. I hear right now that the Bush campaign (not individual Bush voters in Florida that feel their voting rights are subverted) is going to court to block manual counting. What are they afraid manual counting will show? The truth? That, possibly, the current count does not represent the will of the people? There can be no certification of Florida votes until at least Next Saturday morning because of the overseas ballot, anyhow, thus anything (short of reelection, which I think might be very problematic, but apparently has happened in the past for local offices there) that Floridians can do to ascertain what it really was that the Floridian voters wanted, should be done during that period. If by Next Friday, it seems that manual recount includes more of the ballots into the count, then, quite possibly, the Floridians should have a manual recount everywhere in their state. By the way, I thought the media was "liberal", I must admit I fail to see anyone getting down hard on Bush for preventing the truth from coming out. Carl, where is your outrage about candidates using legal maneuvering to hide the truth? If is one thing for a citizen to request "redress" for his personal vote, another completely for the campaign to use tactics which goals are the subversion of the will of the people. Zeev
