"The canvassing board members were intimidated and bullied by the young GOP hooligans and scofflaws. " That is Bullshi$ and you know it!!! The official at the canvassing board, I believe Leahy was his name, denied their decision was influenced by the protestors. Secondly, do you think it was fair on such an important issue, for the canvassing board (3 Democrats) to continue sifting through the ballots in isolation away from the scrutiny of the media, the public, and also away from impartial observers? The three of them alone in a room, how many "chads-a-la-Gore" do you suppose they would eat from those ballots? WAKE UP!

opinionjournal.com Brian Kalt, an assistant professor of law at Michigan State University, has closely followed Miami-Dade's recount. He notes that by beginning in numerical order, it proceeded first through heavily Democratic precincts, many of which had gone for Gore by as much as 9 to 1. The 135 recounted precincts as a whole gave Mr. Gore 74% of the vote, compared with only 53% countywide. That means that the remaining precincts as a whole went for Mr. Bush, and would have delivered far fewer additional votes for Mr. Gore. "The count was just about to move into heavily Republican and Cuban areas," says Mr. Kalt. "Given how the rest of the precincts would have voted, I don't see how Gore would have picked up votes. If the trend had continued, an admitted if, Bush would actually have gained 400 votes countywide."
