Hello G Barr. You seem to have a lot of info on the recount saga. Why won't you answer my question about the justification (or lack of) to go further in counting process than the law of Florida allowed, which was a mandatory machine recount if the results were closer than 1/2%? In my view arguing the minutia of what happened after that is a waste of time. But there are still those like yourself that will repeat the lie that Gore won over and over. Oh well. I predicted you would not answer, and you have not. Would like to hear your view if you care to give it.

Differing rules in the various counties do not matter as long as they are not designed to favor a particular candidate, but affect the process randomly. The issue in this case was the certainty of establishing more liberal standards in Democratic counties, to cull more Gore votes. Similarly, the purposeful discrimination about the outcome is inherent in allowing the various counties to tailor their own rules. Also, Scalia has not said that he would only judge as the court would have at the time of the Constitution, statute, or amendment, but that he would be bound by the actual wording of the text, such material as might clarify intent, and reasonable inferences derived therefrom in applying the law. As it happens, a reasonable body of precedents have been developed in election matters, and he followed them, as amplifications of the 14th amendment.....
