Politics : PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

What about the HYPOCRITICAL, LEGALLY AND LEGISLATIVELY UNINTENDED position that manual recounts are no longer a legitimate part of the electoral process? That if a candidate loses by 5 votes in an election with a 10,000 vote undervote, he should just concede because there is no recourse?

Dan, Dan, Dan. Stop shouting already. "requesting territorial advantages"? You'd better review Gore's offer to recount the whole state if that is what Bush wanted, but Bush rejected that proposal. Message 14979908 November 15, 2000 Al Gore personally extended a proposal to end the ongoing battle over presidential ballots in Florida, saying he would accept the results of manual recounts in a select number of Florida counties, added to state and overseas absentee ballot totals, as the final word in the 2000 presidential contest. * * * "If this happens, I will abide by the results, I will take no legal action to challenge the results, and I will support no action to challenge those results," Gore said. Gore then said, should his opponent, Republican George W. Bush prefer, a full recount of all Florida counties could be conducted.
