zeev... "It reminds me too much of "Kristal Nacht" and the "Brown Shirts" riot." I think you're getting a little carried away now?

Zeev, The sight of the riot outside the counting room was a disgrace, in my opinion. It reminds me too much of "Kristal Nacht" and the "Brown Shirts" riot . So you're getting sucked back in, eh? If you think that what you saw was similar to Kristal Nacht, then I don't think you understand Kristal Nacht. And since I'm certain you understand Kristal Nacht, I think that you should retract your statement. Maybe the Democrats shouldn't have tried to hide the proceedings from the observers. It is unfortunate that all of this bullshit is happening on both sides, and it is unfortunate that politicians are trying to fan the flames. Dave

<<The next step will be for a court to accept the contest (for good reasons since many valid votes of both Republicans and Democrats were not counted), and order, yet, once more a recount there. >> I am neither a republican nor a democrat, I did not vote, but I have this to say: -The margin of error in any count or recount is bigger than the difference between the two candidates. Every recount may produce a different winner. Why the recount? why will the result of any recount be more reliable? when will they stop, after how many recount ? - One of the counties already changed the manual counting rules twice. the rules should have been fixed prior to the election, but they were not. The counties can only blame themselves, but it is unacceptable that these rules are changed as we go. this mean that the officials (or even the judges) can pick and choose the rules that are more "convenient" for their candidate. Based on this, all manual recounts based on rules that were not set prior to the election, or that can be subjective, should not be allowed, once and for all, in all counties (dem or rep), and in all futur elections.

I disagree with you on this matter. This has nothing to do with "Kristal Nacht" and the "Brown Shirts" . It has everything to do with democratic machine politics in the state of Florida. The refusal to count military ballots and the insistence on counting invalidated ballots by the democrat canvassing boards is a testament to the nonsense going on in these recounts. In fact, the Broward County board was actually casting votes on ballots which had no choice punched. Palm Beach county was using a tighter standard.
