Too bad they didn't let Castro have his people monitor the
election. He offered.

"The study found that Florida's uncounted optical scan ballots
included as many as 3,527 such potentially valid votes. If those votes
had been counted, Gore would have gained 2,206 votes and Bush 1,321--a
swing of 885 votes for Gore."

Duh, they wern't counted because they didn't count.

Really? Maybe your vote shouldn't count.

It's really kind of funny to see how history has been rewritten in the
aftermath of the 2000 election. What if the Republican had not thrown away
all the absentee ballots sent by registered Democrats? What if Gov. Bush
had not ordered the Florida hiway patrol & state police to turn away
minority voters by the thousand? What if the Supreme Court had not ordered
the recount stopped?

If the same things had happened in another country, the same people who
are smugly insisting that Bush won fair and square would instead be
howling and pointing at how poorly them furriners understand democracy.

Basically, what happened was that the Republican party pulled out all
stops before and after the election to have George Bush Jr installed.

And there was much rejoicing (by CEOs, oil companies, and defense
contractors).
