JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (UPI) – Al Gore's refusal to concede to President-elect Bush is causing a flood of Democrats to switch to the Republican Party. The Duval County Supervisor of Elections office has been busy since Election Day signing up new voters and helping registrants change parties, WJXT-TV of Jacksonville reported Friday. Clerks said they have never seen anything like it after any other presidential election. Many people are registering to vote for the first time. Many have said they did not realize before this election that their vote could really count. Assistant Supervisor of Elections Dick Carlsberg said he talked to the clerks in the office and they told him, "There's been a definite surge in party affiliation changes, and it's been from Democrat to Republican." He said nothing like this had happened after the presidential elections in 1996 and 1992. One disgruntled former Democrat is John Carswell, who switched recently after 34 years in the party since he first registered to vote. He said he did it because he didn't like the way the Democratic Party had reacted to the presidential election results.

What a silly argument. Why would anyone wanting to count all the votes be for throwing out any votes? I'm sure not. If people have committed voter fraud, then fry their hides. No one is hand picking precincts here. No one is even hand picking counties. Bush has had several cuts at the pie, but has failed to ask for any recounts. The Florida Supreme Court even offered Bush the opportunity to recount in counties, but he failed to act. Look at the chutzpah now for Bush team to claim that since Al Gore didn't make these requests on Bush's behalf, that Gore is the one not being fair.
