In almost any other situation where the vote was viewed with such suspicion and where the candidate had such ties, there would have been a call for a revote. I disagree. There has never been a revote in the history of US presidential elections. I am unaware even of a revote in elections to congress, but there has been congressional elections with more evidence of irregularities. Tim, I am 90% certain there have been congressional revotes when irregularities have been discovered and it is a matter of normal procedure in local and congressional elections when results are too close [within 2% I believe] or where there is no clear majority, runoff elections are held. The level of apparent irregularities in FL isn't much greater then that of many states in many elections. The difference is that FL was close enough that any miscounting or other irregularities were more significant. If what you are saying were all true, I do not think the media nor this thread nor the public in general would still be discussing the subject 8 mos. later. ted
