It seems that GWB is now trying to steal the election. Weren't his people crying foul yesterday because a court challenge was threatened. Now they are going to court(and I don't care if it for a different reason) to further his cause. The American People do not want some judge(s) to decide who our next president is going to be. Let there be a manual count and lets get on with the program. This BS that machines are better is nothing more than a loser who knows he/she is a loser trying to get the legal system to help them out. If the law permits a manual recount, why not proceed. Unless of course he knows something the people don't.

"No, you are wrong." There are "standards" in the other states that allow recounts...there are none in the State of Florida. This means that the previously thrown out double punched ballots could in fact now be counted...at the discretion of each individual precinct...based on how they interpret the voter's "intent". I am not talking about kicked out ballots...I am referring to previously "thrown out" ballots because of double punching. Do we then move into the heavily favored Republican counties and do the same thing...and then move on to other states...and on and on and on. Bush wanted to put an end to it...unfortunately too late as it seems. If the Gore camp had graciously said we will accept the results once all the mail-in ballots are counted...this would have and could have been avoided.
