The felon names, were supposed to be checked by the local election board.
Some did, some did not. The biggest screw up was in the Democrat controlled
areas with demo controlled election boards. The Dem's wanted to throw out
absentee ballots from the military as they did not have date stamps on the
envelopes. APO's may not date stamp. And I happen to be a registered
Democrat, and have been appalled by the choices of candidates we have had
for the last few elections. John Kerry? An ultra limousine liberal, that
has not shown any leadership in 17 years in the Senate. Bill Clinton, known
as a coke head and crook in Arkansas. Friends in Arkansas were happy to get
rid of him in the state house. Unfortunately we had to deal with her and
him on a national stage. At least Bush follows in the footsteps of one of
the great presidents. Abe Lincoln. Failed in several businesses, mental
breakdown, etc.

Sorry, this still doesn't make sense. AFAIK neither side wanted a
"selective recount" only to either complete the recount, or failing
that, allow the votes recounted before the deadline to stand (is what
the law prescribed).

The Florida Supremem Court moved first to stop the recount; then ruled
that the recount could go ahead but had to be complete by the deadline
or all recounted votes would not stand; the Supreme Court stopped the
recount again. Can you point to any references about which rules the
Dems wanted to change?

In any event, how do you feel about the Republicans throwing away
Democrat absentee ballots wholesale? Happened in a few counties. How
about dropping registered voters from the rolls because they were 1-
Democrats and 2- had the same last name as a felon? That happened in a
bunch of places around the state, with the complicity of Gov. Bush and
Kathleen Harris. I guess since your side "won" you think it's OK?

The 2000 election, *especially* in Florida, was a tremendous defeat for
democracy in America.
