Florida recounting was not the problem as it turned out, the voter rolls themselves were. They were "fixed". Have you read about it on gregpalast.com? 57,700 mostly legal, most minority Florida voters were not allowed to vote at all in 2000. The Jebsters pretended it as an "error" but as Palast proves, it was quite intentional. And it cost Gore the White House. 8,000 of those voter roll cuts alone were from Texas. Jeb and GW working together to lower the amount of democratic voters in their states. The NAACP sued Jeb and won an out of court settlement. It's not supposed to happen again now, but as Palast says, they're using it onther states where they haven't been sued yet. A gross subversion of democracy. The lesson is, he who controls the computers can tweak the lists of voters. If you're not on the list, you dont get to vote. The excuse used, BTW was that these voters were supposed out of state ex-felons who had served time. But not only it is legal in Florida for these ex-felons to vote, but in fact a vast majority of the scrubbed voters had no felony records, just similar names and birthdates, which were never cross-checked, on purpose. How many Bobby Jones or Juan Guanzalez's are in the country born around a certain date who have felony records? You get the picture. Common name for Hispanics and Blacks were the majority of the scrubs. Sveral prominent black preachers were not allowed to vote as a result, and many-many more, much more than the margin Gore needed to win. So now we know. But too late.
