What are you Republicans jumping up and yelling about, even James Baker, the head honcho for Shrub is saying that a machine should decide the election. If Baker wants a machine to decide who will be President as opposed to humans, certainly he would want a machine to be President. So let me remind you compassionate conservatives that for ever so long you have told us that Gore is a robot. I guess now you will change your tune and say...No! We don't want a machine/robot, but something that is just as non-human...a plant of the Shrub variety.(:>)

The statute in question, Title IX Florida Statutes Sec. 102.112 says that if the county returns aren't certified to the Secretary of State by 5:00 p.m. next Tuesday, then "such returns may be ignored and the results on file at that time may be certified by the department." Guess it pays to have a Republican Secretary of State exercising the discretion! LOL! Can Palm Beach County handcount the entire county's ballots by 5:00 p.m. Tuesday? It took eight hours to count three precincts. My guess is no.
