Gore lost. By opening the process to subjective "recounts", there is no winner. JLA

Journal: 'OUTLANDISH' UNFAIRNESS: Gore camp's feigned surprise at the plain and simple truth Richard Matthews - Staff Thursday, December 7, 2000 This is how far we have come in the duel for the presidency, from reality, truth, plain fact and perhaps even, for some, honesty: When the judge in Al Gore's election contest ruled that it would be unfair to count only some ballots by hand and not others, The New York Times reported that the Gore team hadn't spent much time debating that point because they considered it "outlandish." No one as smart as the vice president's lawyers could think any such thing, of course. They surely know that this is the single most important --- and most damaging --- argument against their effort to dredge up the few hundred more votes it would take to undo George W. Bush's narrow victory. Their best tactic, then, has been to ignore it, or attempt to belittle it when it raised its inconvenient head. accessatlanta.com
