....but it would be a hard point to prove. Not hard to prove since there's plenty of evidence. So it still comes down to your point of view, doesn't it? As for the hand recounts, my recollection was that there was a provision in Florida law that permitted it. I think we could count on one thing: if it could have been challenged by Bush, it would have been. And whether Florida Court of Appeals or Florida State Supreme Court ruled for or against any given challenge or ruled in a way that you agreed with or disagreed with does not excuse the blatantly partisan manner in which the USSC ruled with no precedent in law. The election issue is actually a good example of the relativity of truth. If you are looking for something absolute to hang your hat on there, I don't think you will find it. So much of it was open to interpretation. Even the recount conclusions by the consortium of newspapers were pretty slippery, depending on how you read them.
