Re: "And how is the difference of California law relevant to your statement that the California governor is wrong in asserting -- if he did, you provide no citation -- that 600 K votes will not change the almost 1.3 million margin for Gore ??"

Winsock you're getting hysterical. The discussion about California absentee votes had nothing whatsoever to do with the question of the legality of another rerererererecount. They were unrelated posts. Unconnected. It was a different subject.

The claim that 600K absentee ballots will not be counted was what I heard on a California radio talkshow. I didn't say the Governor was wrong, in fact I said you can't blame him. Apparantly it is quite legal in California to never count some ballots (even once) if they cannot change the outcome of the California election. For some reason I don't remember the Democrats complaining that every vote should be counted. Oh well. Keep in mind the Florida ballots with undervotes were counted multiple times and there was no evidence submitted that they were legal votes for either candidate, which was the burden of proof to allow a handcount. So ruled Judge Sauls. The FSC disagreed and the matter is before the USSC as you know, I hope.
