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?

Only Volusia County was able to comply with the recount "deadline" as
set forth in the law prior to the election. Palm Beach, Dade, and
Broward could not. The original "deadline" for recounts was changed
for that reason.

That is called "changing the rules". One county followed them, the
"three stooges" could not. Like severely retarded young children, they
required much more "time" to complete a routine, simple task.

Things were so hopeless in SE FL the Fl House of Rep's assembled and
were preparing, in essence, to vote to determine whom the electorial
votes of FL would be cast for as the predictable chaos, mayhem, and
confusion down in democratic controlled SE FL threatened another
"deadline" that was set forth in law prior to the election and the
State's electorial votes would have been disregarded.

Doug, who do you suppose they would have voted for?

In any event, how do you feel about the Republicans throwing away
Democrat absentee ballots wholesale? Happened in a few counties.

Got a cite for that one? I am in Cen FL and I missed that one.

Btw, speaking of trying to "throw away absentee ballots" here is what
your "choir boys" tried to pull.

Yap all you want about how your "Champions of Democracy" got
"cheated".

Pathetic. Kinda like the Gambino crime family complaining to the NYPD
because Gotti's mobsters "roughed 'em up".

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

No, it just showed what we in the rest of FL already knew. SE FL has
repeatedly demonstrated the very same "disturbances" effecting local
elections in the past. But, noboby outside of there really gives a
**** about which local hoodlums are elected. POTUS is a whole other
matter.

Now, the whole wide world knows local government in SE FL is "third
world class" corrupt and incompetant.Not just in the local elections
office, either. School Boards, County commissions, Port Authority's,
you name it and its in a "Twilight Zone" of depravity.

Congratulations on this crowning achievement.

I have no doubt another shocking display is in store for '04.
