Reply #10: the SC selected nothing [View All]

[Pltcl_jnky]

read the court ruling...all their decision said was that the state of Florida could not hand count certain selective counties. If they were going to count the vote sby hand then they had to count ALL the votes of the entire state by hand. Basically they said that if you hand count all the votes in those certain counties then the equal protection rights of the other counties voters who ballots may have been thrown out due to vote machine error would not have their voted properly examined and counted and therefore not be treated equally under the law.

The case then went back to the Florida Supreme Court who ruled that the recounts in those few counties had to stop as per the ruling of the US Supreme Court. Al Gore has NEVER sought a full statewide recount therefore the election was over at that point and the vote totals that had been counted twice by the standard counting computers were certified and Bush is president.

So we can yammer on and on about the SC selecting the president. They never stated the hand recounts HAD TO STOP, all they stated was that if you were going to do hand counts then all votes had to be recounted.

The bottom line is under our system of government he was elected president while receiving 500,000 thousands less votes than Gore. But that is our system and if we go into 04 with this he was not elected bullshit and whine and bitch and piss and moan that he stole the election he is going to win in a landslide as people are sick of the shit. There is enough to beat him on without having to drudge up bullshit, and that is exactly what this excuse is bullshit, excuses from 4 years ago!!!
