It is important for everyone to see this information because many are confused. I cannot see how the Florida Supreme Court can ignore the blatant tampering with the individual ballots.

There you go again:

<<"1- The election itself (Bush won)">>

The OFFICIAL results of this are not complete. Three states have still not been certified. In the other 47 states plus DC, Gore maintains a 255 - 246 electoral vote lead and 200,000 +/- popular vote lead nationwide. How can you possibly call that a clear "Bush win"

<<"2- Gore asked for recount (Bush won)">>

As you continue to incorrectly insist, your #2 above was an AUTOMATIC recount in FL dictated by FL law and not requested by either candidate. Bush's lead was reduced significantly (from nearly 2000 to 300) as a result of this AUTOMATIC recount. [You're never going to accept this are you Vendit?]

<<"3- Gore asked for a second recount (Bush won)">>

This "second recount", which is Gore's FIRST request for a recount, is the manual count, guaranteed by FL law as a result of a 300 vote differential out of 6 million votes cast. This count has never been completed, you know it hasn't been completed, and you can't prove otherwise.

<<"4- Gore asks for hand recount (Bush will win)">>

This is redundancy on your part. Vendit. Your number 4 point is number 3, the "hand recount" that is still on-going. As I have stated before, this manual hand count has stopped, started,stopped and restarted as a result of on-going litigation. For some reason, every time it RESTARTS, you choose to call it a NEW count.

I must admit, you are a worthy adversary vendit. Your spin control is good, but let's try and get the facts straight every now and then.

Joe Lieberman, whose reputation has apparently been destroyed by this election, casually dismissed Schwartzkopf on "Meet the Press" as pro-Bush.

That is an outrage, these people went out of their way to cast their vote, and unlike the voters in PB have a great deal to gain or lose in this election...their life.

It wasn't their fault that their ballots weren't picked up in a timely manner..Many were on ships, or in a foreign country...Bosnia, and totally dependent on the US government to pick up their votes...
