This is not what happened in Florida. The truth is there were Democrats who were willing to let themselves be portrayed as too stupid to correctly mark a paper ballot but if you read the evidence chronicled by Free Republic, the Democrats were using any means they could to steal the election.
The reason they kept recounting was because they were trying to destroy Bush votes and create new ones for Gore. The problem for the Democrats was that they had underestimated the number of votes that Bush received and they had trouble making up the difference.
It's worth the futher investigation.

Grandma, let me reiterate. I LIVE in Florida. I LIVED in Florida at the time of the 2000 election and I probably know far better than you what was going on in Florida. I followed that whole stupid debacle very closely and didn't touch the whole issue of ballot theft and fraud for this very reason. I didn't want to re-hash that election and I still don't.
