The GOP is making a deliberate campaign now to report fictional abuses in order to discredit the entire hand recounts.

This is the kind of area where the news crews could get off their collective duffs and help promote liberty and democracy. They should go film some of these challenges and show them to the American public. Nothing more, nothing less, if there are challenges then they should get the observer to explain the challenges on camera and allow rebuttal by the other observer and counter and armed guards if necessary.

In short, the news crews could get rid of a lot of spin on both sides if they would just show everyone what is going on in detail. It bothers me that our democracy is at stake and they treat it more like a sporting event.

I'm afraid you're going to be highly disappointed when the Florida Supreme Court Justices are shown all of this evidence and they rule the results of the recount are invalid due to contamination. You know, you're also naive regarding the amount of money, time, and resources being devoted to collecting the evidence necessary to have the manual recount results invalidated. The Republicans have the better lawyers, the deeper pockets, and the more defensible position.

Your Carol Roberts was just the wrong person to be left in charge down there for your party. Better luck next time.
