Misheldo, I disagree with you. The Secretary of State is following the law. Whether she is "biased" or not is not a legal question of any substance. The democratic partisans may not like it but a democratic circuit judge agrees with her. She has been vilified by democratic partisans and political operatives for her adherence to the law. She is the only real hero in this whole nasty affair IMO. Manual recounting of the votes only in the three democratic counties is inherently unfair to the other 64 counties in the state of Florida and leads to a biased reporting of the election results. The written law does not allow a recount beyond the 7th day after the election. This is very clear. Meanwhile, the democrats are disqualifying the absentee votes of the overseas military in an effort to reduce George Bush's vote count. I do not hear you objecting to that! As it stands now there is no way to get an "honest and fair manual recount" across the state of Florida even if it was a legal option- which it is not. The process in those three counties includes going through the buckets of disqualified votes to interpret them. Unless, this same thing is done in every other county in Florida it is "UNFAIR to the voters" in those other counties. Unfortunately, the law does not allow this type of recount. JMO
