<< Yes, Bush "won": by a statistically insignificant margin of 537 out of 6

West Palm Beach and those counties utilizing archaic voting machines), in
the deplorable morass that the nation has come to recognize as Florida
voting. That's the problem.
After listening and reading account after account for four weeks, I
personally believe that, if the vote of every voter who intended to vote for
Gore and walked out of the voting booth firmly believing that he or she had
done so had been actually counted as such, we'd be hearing news reports
today of the cabinet plans of President-elect Gore. >>
mary, i understand why you believe this way. i have a different belief. i
live about 2 hours drive from jacksonville fl. i understand that they had
22,000 votes which were undefined and therefore disqualified. but the gore
campagn did not pursue a recount in that county. because jaconsville remains
a republican territory. and i am wondering about tampa and pensicola as
well.
i believe what you are seeing is the reflection of the specifically chosen
democratic counties by the gore party to boost their vote count. and i am
wondering why the bush party didn't purse the same thing in counties where
they were predictied to win.
i'm not saying anyone is more righteous than another. but i don't understand
why the gore campaign is so specifically focused on three or four counties
and why the world does not know that many other counties in florida had tens
and twenties of thousands of disenfranchised votes about which the gore
people take no issue.
