You got about 3 days to recount about 3 million votes by hand. On yer mark, get set, go!
Unh-uh.
Citizens have a right to have their vote be heard and counted. Courts have consistently bended over backwards to ensure this - as was the case in Florida.
...to a certain degree
Wrong, they have 7 days to count the votes at which point the vote can be contested. Gore skipped to the last phase the day after the election and immediately started muddying the waters to confuse people on what was actualy happening. What about the other 100,000 plus ballots (actualy closer to 200,000) in Florida that were thrown out for various reasons? Or how about the almost 2,000,000 votes nation wide that were thrown out? Every vote counts huh? A great concept but I doubt it's ever happened. And just to get it straight, the votes have been counted 3 times now. AND you couldn't get an accurate count now if you wanted too, how many chads did they find on the floors of all the counting rooms?
Gore needs to be a man and step aside, he lost fair and square. It was close, but he lost. End of story, at least it should be...
Udie
