From your article Kenneth, Once a lackluster candidate, Gore now defends the rights of all* Florida’s voters to be counted* What about the votes in Seminole County? If you will be honest, you will admit that Gore only wants the votes that will help him. He is not fighting for every Florida voter. Otherwise, he would publicly condemn the Seminole case. Have a good one. alan w

Gore is not good material for martyrdom, but I wouldn't put the pursuit above him.

Kenny, What do you think of all those Jewish folks at the rally, singing Spirituals with the black choir? Think the Jews there know they are singing songs about One they deny? Hymietown JJJakson should be right out to console them.... LOL. God indeed does work in mysterious ways... edit: is today a holiday in Florida? Does anyone work?

Does anyone doubt that were the positions reversed, the Bush campaign, which has reversed itself so many times on so many fundamental issues that nobody can keep track of them anymore, would prove reticent were the proverbial shoe on the other foot? Does anyone doubt that the Republicans will also find a way to reverse this, either through the Florida legislature or the U.S. House of Representatives, should it come to that? ... Alas, it is just these uncertainties that have been bothering the pundits. They have never seen a situation like this one — none of us have. But they are less able to deal with it than the rest of the country. While most Americans have demonstrated impressive patience in waiting for the various confusing steps to finally play themselves out in some fair and understandable manner, the pundits have been announcing at every moment that the “American people” were getting ready to explode. ... And yet it moves. Gore is not giving up. He is fighting to the last. And while his struggle is unlikely to result in victory, it is a valuable one nevertheless. The Republicans did not win the vote in Florida. Nobody did. It was a statistical tie, as the margin between the two candidates is smaller than the margin of error in any form of count. (Though Gore clearly did carry the “will” of Florida’s people, this was offset by his supporters’ difficulty in making their votes count for an amazing variety of reasons.) Bush is winning the presidency purely on the basis of naked political muscle. If he needs more than he’s gotten so far, say in the Florida legislature or the U.S. House of Representatives, he’ll use that too.

Ken, So does Gore want all of the votes counted or not? If a vote is not counted because a voter ID was added for identification purposes, should that person lose their vote? Yes according to gore. the FLA SC said no just a few years ago. Should the military votes not count? Yes according to gore. Should convicted felons be allowed to cast votes? Yes according to Gore. Do you see a trend? tp

It was disappointing to see that the author of this article refers inaccurately to "hacks filling out ballots" rather than "applications for ballots" in Seminole --this is such a serious distinction. He is either careless, or he is being intentionally misleading. .....the events of Seminole County, where Republican election officials simply invited in a group of party hacks to fill out nearly 5,000 absentee ballots that would otherwise have been disallowed. The problem is that in doing so, they violated the law, since only family members are allowed to legally tamper with those ballots. (my bold)
