Irregularities in Seminole could cost GOP dearly By John Pacenti, Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Monday, November 27, 2000 A challenge to throw out all absentee ballots in Seminole County took a back seat for weeks as the forces of Al Gore and George W. Bush fought it out over recounts and revotes in more populous South Florida. Yet, the lawsuit filed in the Republican suburban enclave north of Orlando ticks like a time bomb in the unprecedented post-election-day scramble for Florida's 25 electoral votes and, ultimately, the presidency. gopbi.com

And is Bush withdrawing his claim with the US SUpreme Court? If he's so confident why hasn't he done that yet? Important principle at stake. Do citizens rule or do the courts? Kinda basic. Probably should be resolved.

You can cry and whine all you want to, but the reality is that the election canvassing board in Miami-Dade County, comprised exclusively of Democrats, voted to stop counting the votes when they discovered they could not gain sufficient numbers to overcome Bush's statewide lead. This was AFTER they rushed to count the HEAVILY DEMOCRATIC precincts FIRST. The only votes left to count in Miami-Dade county were in precincts that strongly favored Republicans. Therefore, they stopped counting in order to leave an aura of uncertainty around the election. (e.g. So they could continue to slander the legitimacy of Bush's victory by saying, "we didn't finish counting the votes or Gore would have won!") Democratic statisticians have concluded Gore had received the maximum number of votes possible in Miami-Dade, and it simply wasn't enough. Gee, that's too bad for you. opinionjournal.com John
