It shows what type of mentality these people have when the woman wants the SCOOH "give" the 20 electorial votes to Kerry.

The court doesn't have the authority to do so only the Congress. However, even if Bush doesn't receive the 20 EV, Bush would still win 266-256.

Actually, if Ohio were to go into the Kerry column, he would have 272 electoral votes to Bush's 266; 270 EVs are needed to win so (shudder) Kerry would become the president.

Any support by Kerry for a recount, of course, is another flip-flop since a concession means the loser isn't going to contest the election. This guy has no integrity in anything he does, from tossing his medals over the White House fence to spending Christmas in Cambodia.

Sorry to point this out, but unless you have some sort of subtle reasoning that isn't obvious to me, your calculations aren't correct.

The EV is 286-252. If the President had lost Ohio and all of the other states remained unchanged, W would have 266 and sKerry would have 272.

The 20 Ohio votes would not simply disappear.
