Bullshit.

So Al Gore was the choice of Florida�s voters -- whether one counts hanging
chads or dimpled chads. That was the core finding of the eight news
organizations that conducted a review of disputed Florida ballots. By any
chad measure, Gore won.

Gore won even if one doesn�t count the 15,000-25,000 votes that USA Today
estimated Gore lost because of illegally designed �butterfly ballots,� or
the hundreds of predominantly African-American voters who were falsely
identified by the state as felons and turned away from the polls.

Gore won even if there�s no adjustment for George W. Bush�s windfall of
about 290 votes from improperly counted military absentee ballots where lax
standards were applied to Republican counties and strict standards to
Democratic ones, a violation of fairness reported earlier by the Washington
Post and the New York Times.

Put differently, George W. Bush was not the choice of Florida�s voters
anymore than he was the choice of the American people who cast a half
million more ballots for Gore than Bush nationwide. [For more details on

and July 16.]
