Ray how can these people sleep at night? Every vote count? Gore seeks to buy time with today's 'major talk' Vice President Al Gore today will fight impressions of an inevitable George W. Bush presidency by making the political case for challenging Florida's election results. Mr. Gore, trying to prevent public impatience, will deliver a nationally televised address at noon. Aides said Mr. Gore will tell Americans why he is contesting Florida's declaration that the Texas governor won the state — a victory that would give Mr. Bush the presidency. Mr. Gore's running mate, Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, gave a likely preview of the address last night. Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris unjustly certified Mr. Bush as the victor based upon "incomplete and inaccurate" tallies, the Connecticut senator said. "What is at issue here is nothing less than every American's simple, sacred right to vote," said Mr. Lieberman, flanked by U.S. flags in a ballroom at the Hay-Adams Hotel, across Lafayette Park from the White House. "How can we teach our children that every vote counts if we are not willing to make a good-faith effort to count every vote?" he said. washtimes.com
