Wayne, As I said before, you don't need any skulduggery to come up with more Democratic votes in the current scenario. More votes will be found due to the chad effect, and they will be mostly Democratic since these districts are Democratic. The found votes will accurately reflect the voters' intentions -- the Democrats would be dumber than dumb to try any tricks with this amount of attention on them. The Republicans were too dumb to develop a defense other than to say "no", when they have no legal basis to do so. They should have demanded recounts too, instead of trying to cling to a 300 vote lead. Of course the Democrats would not concede when there's still a week to go before you get all the absentee ballots in. Meantime, this doesn't even count the 20,000 votes that the Democrats lost due to ballot confusion. Whoever comes out on top will be be badly tarnished. It really amuses me to see the Wall Street Journal editorial page trumpeting "The People Have Spoken" after such a noise level lead for Bush. The people have spoken indeed, and they have said "It's a dead even tie".
