You want to rail on Bush for defending the constitution? Typical.

Are you really that gullible? Gore didn't need Bush's permission.

Since State Law required Gore to ask of ALL BALLOTS to be recounted in his
contest, of course it is stealing.

recounts

Florida Code requires all recounts to be done 7 days after the election. The
decision to extend the certification deadline by the FSC was struck down
because their decision was not based in Florida Election Code. Why are you
adocating the Harris break the law??

(d) The results of any manual recount completed more than seven days after
the election are not legal votes. The legislature directed that any votes
added by manual recounts after the seven-day deadline are not considered
legal votes that must be counted, but to the contrary are votes that "shall
be ignored." FLA. STAT. �� 102.011. 5

The Democrats had illegally changed the counting standards. As Judge Sauls
(D) noted:

"....As the State's chief legal officer, I feel a duty to warn that the
final certified total for balloting in the State of Florida includes figures
generated from this two-tier system of differing behavior by official
Canvassing Boards, the State will incur a legal jeopardy under both the
United States and the state constitutions."

What was the state legislature supposed to do, allow for the state to be
left out of the electoral college?

I know that would have thrilled Gore, but the Democrat's illegal actions
should not be allowed to jeopardize the whole state.

And where was Gore???? He was in court crying, I don't have to count all of
the ballots. The fact is Safe Harbor is the law of the land, EVERYBODY knew
that Dec 12 was the deadline.  In fact, all 7 seven members of the FSC said
on 11/21/2000 that the 12th of Dec was it. What did Gore do with that
information? He filed a contest of asking for a partial recount.

From: Palm Beach County Canvassing Board vs. Katherine Harris, 11/21/2000,
all seven members agreed that the safe harbor date was the deadline.

"Ignoring the county's returns is a drastic measure and is appropriate only
if the returns submitted the Department so late that their inclusion will
compromise the integrity of the electoral process in either of two way: (1)
by precluding a candidate, elector, or taxpayer from contesting the
certification of an election pursuant to section 102.168; or (2) by
precluding Florida voters from participating fully in the federal electoral
process." (reference to footnote 55)

"Footnote #55 See: 3 U.S.C.  � � 1-10 (1994)."

The Safe Harbor date can be found in the above US Code.

IF Gore and the Democrat really wanted a fair recount, they should have
FILED FOR ONE!!
