Hereis an interesting fact that is often ignored by libs:

Floriday ranked 6th in terms of having votes thrwon out. 5 other states threw more out, including Illinois which Gore won. (Not sure what the other states are, you might want to research).

The libs act as if votes that were legitimately cast for Gore were thrown out. It is clear that ballots that were over-punched (for two candidates) or under-punched (for no candidate) had to be thrown out. Voting machines are not set up to be mind readers. Instead of the Supreme Court deciding what to do, the dems needed The Amazing Kreskin to figure out what was on the ballots.

And to all those that said Katherine Harris rushed to get the election certified - she was required by Florida law to do this (the law is something that Democrats don't like to follow)

"Section 102.112, Florida Statutes, provides that the county canvassing board must certify the county returns by 5 PM on the 7th day following the general election. The performance of this duty is mandatory; there are no exceptions provided in the law. In fact, a $200 a day personal fine is imposed on members of the county canvassing board for failing to meet this deadline"

Again, Section 102.112, Florida Statutes, which deals with the duties of the county canvassing board, provides, "If the returns are not received by the time specified, such returns may be ignored and the results on file at that time may be certified by the department." Section 102.111, Florida Statutes, is explicitly mandatory. It provides, "If the county returns are not received by the department by 5 PM on the 7th day following an election, all missing counties shall be ignored, and the results on file shall be certified."
