ben, you misunderstood me. i am not arguing that bush had all 800. i think it is quite plausible that gore had equaly as many. i wonder whether those are being counted in palm beach, though. you didn't answer my question, though. your candidate loses by 1 vote due to a hand recount in a district with a flood (it is western washington, right? ;-) otherwise, your candidate won. is that more fair and more accurate than a statewide recount that includes the 0.5% error rate? would you be satisfied if george bush won in this fashion? my answer is no. count 'em all if you count one and that one could change the outcome.

"A similar bit of information was put out by the GOP concerning the Libertarian voters in W.PalmBeach, stating that the rise in registrations of over 100% since two years ago explained all the votes, characterizing the area as a hotbed of Libertarian activity, thus purporting to explain those 4700 votes for Buchanan (or whatever the total was). " I hope you're not under the impression that Mr. Buchanan is affiliated with the Libertarian party in any way. Mr. Buchanan is decidedly anti Libertarian and belongs to the Reform party. That is not the only part of the above which you are inaccurately representing either. Regards, Barb
