Now, I've been watching the corrupt liberal CSPAN, JDN, and the things you report don't match up with what I'm seeing and hearing. You may be listening to too much Rush Limbaugh. --- First of all, I watched a casual encounter between CSPAN and a lady named Ramsay who was a low level Democratic campaign worker in Palm Beach County. She wasn't there to be on TV. She was there the day of the election and described how people 'swamped' the election office over finding out they voted for Pat Buchannan (#2) and not Al Gore (#2). The citizen (like you) who filed a complaint with the Fla court spoke before the Fla court and CSPAN caught that. He said the reason he did was because he saw an old man crying over having punched the wrong hole. It's not some conspiracy like you seem to want to believe. --- CSPAN was there with the military ballots. They're counting the military ballots the same way they always do; using the same criteria. --- One thing I found interesting was the historic parallel between Gore/Bush and Tilden/Hayes. It seems that this very same close election result came down this exact same way once before. Rutheford Hayes was behind on the popular vote. Tilden went to bed election night thinking he won (as he was ahead in Fla). What actually happened was that *corrupt Florida Republicans <shock> 'augmented' the vote (a matter of historical fact) in the very same election district, which then included Palm Beach, Dade, and Broward Counties. Hayes won and sent the whole thing to a congress where a slight congressional Republican majority formed a committee which elected Hayes President 8 to 7 along party lines. Rutherford Hayes was known after that as 'Ruthefraud' Hayes. --- You Florida Republicans have a reputation. -JCJ

TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 17–Republicans in charge of the Florida legislature are preparing a legal strategy to appoint the state's 25 electors themselves if the Florida Supreme Court fails to rule on the matter promptly. "We're going to potentially ignore the state Supreme Court," Tom Feeney, a Republican lawyer who will take over as House speaker on Tuesday, said in an interview today. "It is the state legislature that determines the method of selecting electors. . . . The question is whether or not the Supreme Court of Florida has any role whatsoever. If they try to interfere with our responsibilities, then we still have to fulfill them." .....http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/onpolitics/elections/el...

"If there ever could be a proper time for mere catch arguments, that time surely is not now. In times like the present, men should utter nothing for which they would not willingly be responsible through time and in eternity." -- Abraham Lincoln (1863)
