ORIGINAL: mnottertail LOL, Mistaken as always, in fact outright lying. The person who tried to get military ballots thrown out - was a democrat. (no such thing occurred.) The person who asked for selective recounts - was a democrat. (that person a democrat also asked for statewide recounts) The supreme court that attempted to break the law - was entirely democrat. Souter, O'Connor, Rehnquist,Thomas, Kennedy, Stevens, Scalia.........puts the lie to that asswipe. If we're talking the actual fraud, it was a Republican governor who illegally stopped a statewide recount, was it not? Uh, no. Rather the US Supreme court stopped an attempted illegal statewide recount. Florida law allows the losing candidate one taxpayer paid recount. Florida law requires the vote to be certified on a certain date. Gore feared a recount in Republican areas in the panhandle would lead to a net pick up of republican votes in those areas. So he chose a very specific recount - in areas designed to maximize democratic pick up. He lost. He then sued, trying to get a second bite at the apple. The florida supreme court (in my remembrance unanimously said) ok.. you can break the law - electing a democrat is more important than the terms of the florida constitution. In the meantime the count of all votes started. This was sent up to the US Supreme court - which said to the florida state - ahem we don't really want to embarrass you - why don't you reconsider your stupidity. The FL supreme court reconsidered - and in my memory said, by a 5-4 vote. Yeah.. really? You think the law is important? Overturn us. So back to the US Supreme court, where they did, indeed overturn, mandating that the rules that were in effect were the operable laws. Ie., that Gore was entitled to one recount. He had it, and he had lost.
