>>Tim Russert just reported that it is only "Democrats" that are doing the hand recount in at least one county. In cases where the ballot is not clear, they "are trying to read the mind of the voter". Enough said! << wayne, that is within the bounds of florida law. gore used it to advantage, bush is still going "duh, what's going on guys?"

Everybody impugns Bush's motives in opposing a hand recount, but it seems to me this is a real concern ... think of the woman who everyone is mad at over the ballot design -- never mind that the same type butterfly ballot has been used elsewhere -- just think of one of the election workers whose hearts are torn up because of the "double-punchers" who would have voted for Gore, if they knew how -- why would it be so wrong to correct some of the injustice along the way? I wish I had the confidence that someone in that position would do their job without bias conscious or unconscious, but I don't - do you?
