No, all votes cast for Gore should be counted within reason. I have a problem with determining a voters intent - especially when the determining is done by partisan counters. Gore and his campaign are trying to extend the latitude, even more than it is already, that counters have for determining that intent. Also, shouldn't all absentee votes for Bush be counted? Not according to Gore.

Dade County has many Republicans...if you extrapolate the machine counted results, it is very likely that Bush would have come out ahead. The fact is...the Democrats were counting the Democratic precincts first...and then wanted the Florida Sec of State to accept the results...totally out of line. To make the statement that Bush was fighting to have votes placed for Gore not counted is totally false...unless you want to take into account that it was a majority of Dems doing the counting!
