That's nice.

How about the over 1,000 legitimate votes that, due to technical problems
(like illegible postmarks from APO offices - the US Military - which would
not permit a late vote in the first place) are being tossed right now by
democrat challenges.

Why is it that when the challenge is by a Democrat to a vote for Bush, its
permitted.  But when the converse is true then we must determine the voter's
intent (which of course is to vote for Gore)?

Why this double standard Barry?

(And don't pull the "it doesn't matter" garbage - it most certainly does
matter.  It appears from Broward and Palm Beach counties that were those
1,000 or so absentee military ballots to be counted that Gore couldn't win
even WITH the recounts.  So these "challenges" - by democrats to republican
votes - and the rigging of the recounts - will steal this election, unless
the Florida Supreme Court prevents it)
