The first recount was state law the manual recount had to have a reason for it to be applied Well.. no DUH!!! The Palm Beach ballot was recounted electronically TWICE, my friend... That's 2 x 1... 1 + 1... twice... That's more than Theresa LePore permitted the Republican candidate in her election several months ago... YES... SEVERAL MONTHS AGO (according to Foxnews)...and is a CLEAR EVIDENCE OF A DOUBLE STANDARD WHEN A DEMOCRAT LOSES. Bush has had EVERY opportunity to contest electronic votes in other counties that went against him, but has DELIBERATELY chosen not to in order that this election not be decided in the courts. Gore has to have a manual recount of a ballot that a democrat designed.... And that's just plain STUPID... I could see them complaining if a republican had designed that ballot, although it would be limited in merit given similar ballots have been used elsewhere... But it was one of their OWN PARTY MEMBERS WHO OVERSAW THAT ELECTION. If the votes weren't tallied properly, IT'S THEIR FAULT, NOT GEORGE BUSH'S.... They should have done a better job... just as they should have in many other counties where 10s of thousands of ballots were thrown out. It is VERY simple Pezz.. electronic recounting is objective. Manual recounting is subjective and open to human interpretation and THUS HUMAN BIAS. Regards, Ron
