Said Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer (news - web sites): ``The election was settled a year ago, President Bush won and the voters have long since moved on.''
I wonder how many Bush votes were lost by the 2nd time zone due to Drudge, Fox etc.No doubt about it! The Western part of Florida (panhandle) is HEAVY military voters. As DUMB as it is, many voters left lines to go home (or just didn't stop by their polling place) since "Gore won" and their vote "wouldn't matter" anyway. I would NEVER do that. . .
Strategy backfire, eh Al? tehehe
"Florida's election saw 6.1 million votes cast, and county figures suggest that more than 176,000 ballots, or 2.9 percent, never made it into the certified totals.
That percentage is not unusual and likely would have attracted little attention but for the closeness of the outcome. Nationwide last year, about 2 percent of ballots were disqualified. Some states were far higher: Illinois with 3.9 percent, Georgia 3.5 percent, South Carolina 3.4 percent of votes untallied for a variety of reasons."
This article reveals the relentless leftist agenda of teh subversive Lefties who did this so-called "study."
The truth is you cannot caount "over-votes" becasue the voter voted TWICE, and that would require psychic posers to determine the "voter's intent."
Nor can you count under-votes" becasue that means the person never VOTED for the office, period, which reasoning, besides breaking the law, extrtapolates voter intent from....NOTHING at all!
Bush actually won for the eighth time by my count...
They didn;'t count the OVERSEAS MILITARY VOTES WHICH WERE THROWN OUT by arbitrary fiat!
Nor did they count the 10,000 to 15,000 FL Panhandle votes & voters disenfranchised stolen by the fraudulent TV Networks deliberate false call before the FL Panhandlle closed.
Who but a Gore supporter would have the interest and drive to "count" these votes when it is settled legal and historical fact thjat Bush won, ---- now for the 8th and 9th time!
As I noted above, counting over-votes and under-votes requires "hallucintaion" and "mind-reading" because over votes involve voting TWICE and under votes involve not voting at all for the office!
You musdt mind-read to count over-votes and you must halllucinate to count une\der-votes; I know, I saw hundreds of ballots --very close up --- in PB County as a Bush volunteer vote observer.
AP, CNN, The New York Times, The Palm Beach Post, The St. Petersburg Times, Tribune Publishing, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. Tribune newspapers include the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Newsday, the Orlando Sentinel and the South Florida Sun-Sentinel in Ft. Lauderdale - LOSER
Elected President Bush - PRICELESS!
Illinois with 3.9 percentIf the election had been CLOSE in Illinois, there would of been NO END of scandalous mess in
But thank goodness they are honest enough to admit, they didn't really count votes, they counted what they perceived as the "intentions" of voters.
Voting by Karnack.
So, what else is new? The Florida recount is a dim memory and pales in light of 9/11.
Gore asked for a recount in predominantly Democratic precints only. A recount of the entire state still would have had Bush as the winner. Rarely, if ever, has a recount reversed an election. I recall that the Bush/Cheyney team were willing for a recount of the entire state but that Gore was not willing for that to be done. Gore knew that a recount would have given Bush an even wider margin. He wanted only the 4 democratic precints recounted because he knew fraud and cheating by his operatives had been put in place.
Exactly. I remember seeing the scroll at the bottom of the screen indicating that Bush was ahead in Florida by 51% to 47% when the state was called for Gore. I was stunned by that and couldn't understand how that could be. Also, when Gore finally conceded, he was down over 60,000 votes. But in a matter of an hour, that lead evaporated. Thus the famous "don't get snippy" phone call to Bush. The fix had already been in. His initial concession was all show. His operatives were already on the plane heading for Florida to begin the election fiasco while he was giving his so-called "concession" to Bush.
