On the illegal Palm Beach butterfly ballot, Bush was Number 3; Buchanon Number 4 and Gore Number 5, even though Florida election law stipulated Bush should be first and Gore second in ballot order. Who was Number 1 and Number 2? Was there a Number 1 and a Number 2? If not, why not? Come on now, folks. Use some logic here. Could it be that the kind of voting machines used in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties were known as faulty, error-prone machines and that the chad pressure was greatest in the upper most commonly used positions? Is it Gore's fault these machines were used? GOPwingers, please answer. Thanks!

Who's chicken? Show me where Bush tried to stop a full statewide recount of the votes pre-certification. Better yet show me where Gore has, pre-certification, EVER tried to get a full recount of the votes done by talking to the governing parties in charge of it. Why is your boy so chicken he wants to push the deadline getting his unfair vote counted? Because he wants to cheat. Bawk!

Bush is not afraid of a fair count. The problem just as Clinton is struggling with the definition of "is" Al seems to have an unusual definition of "fair". To paraphrase Daly, "the only fair count is one in which Al Gore wins". Gore wants to define what constitutes a vote for him. That would be any vote that is not specifically cast for anybody else. In every election, there are a certain number of votes that are uncountable. Gore is trying to assert that somehow these uncountable votes can be fairly counted. They can not. That is an unfortunate fact. One only hopes voting equipment will be upgraded to better handle such a close race.
