Oh, so it was professor Plum in the study with a candlestick?
By your own admission, you don't know for sure. One thing that is clear
is that the votes were counted in accordance with the law and the system
in place at that time. It would have been more of a shame to try to
implement a different system in order to get a different result. If the
system is imperfect fine, change it, but to suggest that the human error
always tipped in Bush's favor even when counted by liberal groups is
also a shame.

What I am saying is that is absurd to not to be able to say
who's the
new president after a month, or whatever it took until it was
finally
stated that Bush won.
I don't think hand counting is that effective, human errors are
possible and there is nothing wrong with that. The problem is
that it
was such a tight victory that I just can't be sure it was
accurate. I
have no idea how much more votes Clinton had in his first and
second
terms, but I think it was an easier victory, so no one had
grounds to
suspect any miscount, fraud or whatever.
Honestly, after the second count, it was getting ridiculous. In
my
opinion, such episode was a shame for the country. What can we
do?
No matter who recounted, it's not error proof. I won't state for
sure
that it was Gore and not Bush. I do believe we'd be better off
with
anyone, but Bush, but I don't have a time machine to change the
past
and see the future outcome :)
