BIG advantage to be able to cherry pick where you want the recounts. The law should not have been written to allow this but the law was written by the Florida State Legislature. The Gore campaign simply used the existing law. If they had requested a statewide recount, they would have been accused of unncessary delay. This election screams for electoral reform. That is why the story will not die even after a winner is selected. Electoral reform will become the biggest issue.

Srexley, I am always amazed at the selective fairness, interpretation, recount, truth and pure whole lying of democrats positions. A dimpled chad is only acceptable in Texas if both or all candidates request a manual recount and one would infer that both or all agree that the manual recount is more accurate using the rules for a manual recount. If both or all parties do not agree then no manual recount occurs and no dimpled ballots are counted. I know democats want selective counts and selective use of that laws of a state to prove whatever. The law clearly states' the preference applies only when (1) two or more parties are requesting the recount and (2) the parties requesting the recount note in their application for a recount pursuant to section 214.042-A difference in the type of recount requested. Just another correction of wrong Boise the democrat spin. Tom Watson tosiwmee thanks again mike
