Hi Carl - I do agree with your point about selective unfairness when the Gore camp used that loopholes to zero in on the counties it feels it has the most successes. However, if the GOP accepted the statewide 67 county recount, then it would neutralize that allegation. I also agree the court may not look kindly to those who file misleading affavdils intentionally. I don't know enough to say if it is true in this case. Based on the article [from washington post] Zak has kindly provided, the journalist has obviously made misleading allegation. I also don't know if this is what Sec Baker has picked up on. If so, their premise is also not on solid ground. I don't know about the impact of all these suits filed before the contest stage of the process. According to the commentators on teevee, when the election results are being contested [evidently, VP Gore only contested PB, M-D and Nassau counties,] they are out of the hands of the locals. Therefore, the court can set the rules of method and manner of recount. Since the GOP is also challenging [contesting?] some of the absentee ballots in 5 counties, there are a lot of variables here. Let's say the court has decided to manual recount is deemed necessary, then the two sides can argue about the dimple situation. Since the court will have its own resource to do the counting, then the fairness issue should not be a problem. Personally, as I ve stated in Steve's Channelling thread all along, machine count is not too accurate in this kind of tight race, based on my own professional experience in the systems business. That is why I ve advocated a statewide manual recount using a standardized litmus test [if you will] since the controversy has begun. Dimple or not, we will find out soon enough! best, Bosco

Man, I wish I were wrong! Message 14884052 but from CNN In Miami, the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network filed a federal lawsuit Monday on behalf of three Miami residents. It says minority voters were disenfranchised because Bush was certified as the winner without a completed manual recount in Miami-Dade County. stick a fork in this, this turkey episode is done! best, Bosco
