Scumbria Re..The margin of uncertainty in Florida is much larger than the delta in the counted votes. B I N G O. That is precisely what I have been trying to say. There can't be a winner because the margin for either side will be too small for either to claim victory. Even if we decide to revote PB county, who can say the revote will tell the truth. To fight to the bitter finish to determine a truth which can not be had is lunacy. Bush's is the sleaziest campaign I've seen since Nixon. They were ready to launch a massive campaign of righteous indignation about the electoral college, until they discovered that they lost the popular vote. Thats funny, I heard the same thing about the dems; in fact I think it came from you. Weren't you just yesterday saying only the popular vote should count? Bush apparently has the same views you do. Shouldn't you be a republican? A few weeks ago hand counting was the right thing to do, but now that it works to Bush's disadvantage, it is fraud and error prone. The official republican explanation on this (which I heard on tv this morning) is that Texas has optical scanners in over 75% of their counties, which can be easily be read by hand. Fla. ballots were set up to be read by machine, therefore the machine is more accurate reading this type of ballots. There, now don't you think better of GW. The Gore campaign has abided strictly by the laws of Florida, but the Bush campaign is trying to get the Feds involved. Thats a good one. Democrats have already filed 8 lawsuits crying about problems in FLA. AFAIK, the republicans have only filed one.
