I challenge every Free Republic member to do the following tomorrow:
Contact any news media outlet to rebut this carnival, outrageous "media" recount with the facts of your posts (or if we can get a documented, linked, page here with how Florida was an overwhelming victory for GW Bush - if the Dems had not tried to use fraud to overturn the actual election there - and challenge them to either repudiate this "media" recount (say they had not part it in and do not stand by it in any way and will report same on their "fair and balanced" news program.
If they toss your challenge off as so much peasant noice - let them know that you will be contacting their advertisers and letting them know that their media outlet stands by a claim by "the media" that President Bush is not the legitimate President of this country.

`OVERVOTES' LEANED TO GORE
But to win, he needed help of dimpled ballots
BY MARTIN MERZER

Democrat Al Gore might be president today if Florida's ``overvotes'' had been examined and counted -- but only if dimples on ``undervote'' ballots were accepted as valid votes, the first statewide review of overvotes shows.
Republican George W. Bush still would have prevailed -- even with the overvotes tabulated -- if undervotes had been counted under more restrictive standards, the review indicates.
The review, conducted by The Herald, its parent company, Knight Ridder, USA Today and several other newspapers, also shows that Gore's name was marked on overvotes far more often than Bush's name -- fodder for Democrats who insist that most Floridians intended to vote for Gore. Overvotes are ballots rejected by counting machines because they show more than one vote for president. Undervotes are ballots without presidential votes detected by counting machines.
The findings produce an ambiguous conclusion to an unprecedented effort to examine more than 176,000 untabulated ballots in Florida's disputed presidential election.
