Stolen, maybe not (likely though)... but really the will of the people. While Gore might pull a few thousand out of a manual recount, it's not equitable, as other counties in FL and other states have not had the same count. Not quite fair... to only get extra votes out of heavily democratic counties. Not quite fair: The 2 out of three votes to move ahead with a manual recount were democrats, with the third voting against, being a judge who did not declare his political affiliation. Not quite fair: Ms. LePore (one of the 2 demos who voted to move ahead) just a couple months ago, refused to do a manual recount in a primary for a state seat when there was a 13 vote difference. At the time she said, "The manual count is historically when it's single digits". This would translate to less than 100 votes in this situation..... NICE DOUBE STANDARD lady. Not quite fair: Partisan Democrats in little Haiti allegedly (with many affidavits indicating) intimidating voters into voting for Gore… Finally the police had to be called to remove the democrats. Not quite fair: New York Democrats flying into WI trading packs of cigarettes for absentee votes for Gore… caught on evening news. Not Quite fair: Clinton signing name to unofficial voter id card sent to 900,000 immigrants in CA, many of which (allegedly) are not citizens. Not quite fair: Polling places in liberal precincts in St Louis kept open past closing time. Not quite fair: Race in FL, where Bush led at the time, called for Gore, while Western FL polls still open. Yale prof (unidentified, but I think we can agree that some number were lost) indicates 10,000 votes potentially lost for Bush. If Bush had won by 20 votes, and evidence (beyond a preponderance of doubt) indicated that Repubs perpetrated the above, I’d be hollering (maybe not as loud (G)). Richard
