Skeets, If the democrats are smart, they will not stand in the way of any recounts. The Palm Beach County fiasco is fascinating, because you can make a fair case that the ballot confused about 5% of the electorate into either double-punching the ballot or voting for Buchanan instead of Gore. Unlike most ballot irregularities, this one came purely at the expense of one candidate. What is fascinating, of course, is that this 5% far exceeds the margin of difference between the candidates in the state. So all we can tell for sure is that the losing side will feel cheated no matter what happens.
