"...My post was addressed to those who state that GWB was wrongfully elected. Your post appeared to hold that position." >>> My post merely noted the TREMENDOUS IRONY of the election recount campaigns: if the 'conservative' standards for vote counting that Bush's forces argued for had been used --- Gore would have won... while if the 'liberal' standards that Gore's folks argued for had been used, Bush would have won. >>> That's funny stuff!!!!!! (And, not surprising, considering the closeness of the election --- even small procedural differences could alter the winner.) "I do remember that there were those calling for the elimination of military ballots with postmark problems and the courts through that out. It was an attempt by the dems to take some of GWB's votes." >>> Yep, it was. (Of course it was merely following the elections laws... there has to be some cut-off point for acceptable ballots <G>). >>> My only point, I guess, would be that what's good for the goose is good for the gander: you either follow ALL the laws... or you don't. Once you start to select which laws are to be enforced, and which not, then the flood gates have been opened to partisan influence. >>> If some people believe that the postmark deadline for acceptable absentee ballots comes too soon... then they should push to change the law in the legislature --- same as everyone else.
