>>>Bush's team believes that the hand-counting process is open to mischief and mistakes if Democratic election officials in heavily Democratic precincts recount the vote, according to the senior Republican official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.<<< Mischief, huh? Well, let's compare Baker's fear of mischief with Gore's fear of mischief: "Workers in the elections office said in the depositions that Leach spent anywhere from 15 days to three weeks in the office, at least five days longer than previously believed. Leach testified he filled out more than 2,000 ballot applications, about half of what was previously believed, including 50 ballot requests for Democrats for whom he had voter registration numbers. "Leach did his work in a warehouse housing 18 computers linked to the office's voter registration database. Election Supervisor Sandra Goard had testified that Leach couldn't have access to the database since the computers required a password. "But election workers testified in the depositions that two workers were trained on the computers while Leach was working in the office, and the computers were left on while Leach was alone in the room. Under questioning, Leach denied trying to access the database." Message 14929945 By the way, Leach was in those offices with a GOPwinger whose last name is Mitchell. This Mr. Mitchell, strangely, can't be located anywhere. He's disappeared. Was Mitchell a computer hacker? Who knows? Anyone seen Mr. Mitchell? Will he show up in time for trial? Anyway, here's more detail relative to what Baker was concerned about, so-called mischief: campaignwatch.org
