That would mean Fla in '00 and Ohio in '04:>) I don't go along with re-dos. Maybe for ties, but that is usually solved by a coin flip. Recounts are good, tho. With re-dos, you have problems with newly eligible voters, voters who have died since the election, people who didn't vote the first time who now want to. I'm used to elections won by 1-3 votes, but that is on the local level.

I wouldn't mind a federal law that says any state result less than 1000 votes requires an automatic re-vote with careful scrutiny and oversight. Not a bad idea given what we now know about voting irregularities.
