You said "Look at Paragraph 5 in you post, I did: Ain't NO way. I was then and still am a Florida Republican and I can remember no one asking for that. This is another lie by the left-wing anti-American Press.
I was and am a Florida Republican, too. That method sounds vaguely familiar to me, but I admit, it's not something I've kept the details much in mind over the past almost 5 years.
It really doesn't matter. Just one method out of dozens suggested comes up with a three vote lead for Gore -- and that's so close that random error could account for it. It strikes me that if the press were lying, they would come up with something with a more significant lead for Gore.
It's amusing trivia. Certainly not something to get worked up over.
