Florida suffers from rapid growth in a number of ways
beginning with schools
then with water

and surely voting procedures

but curiously NOT road systems
the best highway system I have seen in decades
even outstanding bridges and causeways

maybe too much state funding of high school football programs

I had a friend back in Boston who went thru entire high school without a finished building
they started construction when she was a freshman
insufficient funding stalled its progress
they finished after she graduated

sign in Tallahassee FLState football stadium
"80,000 Gator Haters... no recount needed"
go Noles

The Democrat re-counters would have held up their microscopic eye to whatever state in the union they needed for victory. It happened to be Florida, where they had a play already in place. Isn't an excuse, however. Florida was the unfortunate victim, and is showing all its warts. Totally unprepared to substantiate its count, and the after-the-fact vote remanufacturing is like something you would expect from a South American junta. Even WPB Democrat judge supervisor stated today, on camera, that it's now become clear that a huge number of people apparently disliked both Gore and Bush, and just didn't cast any ballot for president. Yet -his county canvassing co-supervisor is willing to go to jail to have more ballots reclassified for Gore.
