Florida has no standard for ballot hand recounts, Texas does. Bush signed the Texas law, so I would hope that he sees its merits. If it was a good standard for Bush in Texas, it should be a no brainer for a standard in Florida. If Bush hadn't attempted to use the Florida and Federal courts to stall for time and prevent an accurate recount, or if he would have accepted a state wide recount as Gore offered or if Bush had not bussed in a rent-a-mob to interfere with the Miami-Dade recount or if Bush would not have injected inflammatory rhetoric into the process, we would know who really won the Florida vote. As it stands, we will never know and Bush cannot be a legitimate President. Bush didn't even win a plurality of the popular vote. Bush will be less effective as a President than a lame duck, arguably much worse because his administration would be marred by investigations into what happened in Florida.
