But they will get counted and unlike 1876, we will know the true count someday.

That is really absurd. Any count of marginal ballots will be influenced by the standard those ballots are counted by. I have no doubt that a pair of Gore eyes will see his winning the election and no doubt that Bush eyes will see the opposite. There is no such thing as a "true count" when judgement is involved; it will be more like a Monday morning argument about pass interference.

This election was over November 14. The attempt to manufacture votes-which I thought would be successful-seems now to have failed. Perhaps the attempt to get judges to steal the certified election will also fail, too. Sometimes the good guys actually win, though I have found that rather rare.

So Bush won't be your president, or president for any of the other Lefties? Not a problem!!! This was never really their country either, was it? So what will they now do differently?
