Agree on several fronts.
One of them being that this is a very dead horse.
However, the FL SC ordered the manual recount of >undervotes<. This was specified in the rulings. In interviews later he can say all he wants...he would have been going beyond his court ordered mandate and likely would have been challenged and overruled.
Actually my 8000 number was pulled incorrectly. The actual issue is that the felon list was ignored in 20 counties, I don't have a list of which those were.
I've also seen [link|http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3a41f7e24141.htm|stories] that don't lend alot of creedence to the validity of the vote in Philadelphia and other cities, where there are more registered voters than eligible voters and quite a few precincts reported 100% turnout (pretty neat, more votes than eligible voters). So swing states such as PA could have gone Rep without this type of corruption.
So we both are making the point from different sides, that by now we, the people, should have figured out a way to keep this crap from happening in our electoral process. I, however, think that the public is overwhelmingly apathetic to this..which is why in this day and age we still have chads on ballots.
