Absolutely meaningless. If ALL "overvotes" were counted, that means all ballots with both Gore and Bush punched would be counted in the Gore column. Why? To let Gore win is the only possible answer. ALL over and undervotes are legally and correctly thrown out, as they are INVALIDLY MARKED. I hope this the end of this stupid, asinine charade we have been made to endure for an entire year. And I hope the idiots that continue to waste our time with this crap lose their jobs.

It's already started on the media. Yuck. I just heard it on KNX1070 in Los Angeles, and you can complain here. They provided a Democrat's comment and some numbers, but no opposing reasoning or reminder that the votes were actually illegal. KNX is affiliated with (and gets its news from) CBS/Viacom.

Of course, this Drudge scoop was wrong. Ha ha ha ha.

If this is an accurate post of what was on Drudge, requiring news outlets cite him, when he was completely wrong is absolutely pathetic. Not to diss someone, but to scoop this and be so wrong -- even the NY Times reports Bush won. This is really sad.

If you recall BEFORE election night Drudge bragged how he would release VNS Poll data BEFORE the networks did.
Sure enough, before the 2nd time zone in FL closed he "announced" Gore won.
Then Fox, according to O'Reilly, was the 1st network to "announce" Gore won before the FL polls had closed.
On election night I was at a friends house while she was on the State of FL election return site,
it showed Bush ahead while Fox and everyone else said Gore won.
I wonder how many Bush votes were lost by the 2nd time zone due to Drudge, Fox etc.

No mention of course of the many military absentee votes that were not counted at all. These were not over-votes, which is just another term for a spoiled ballot, but rather votes that did not meet Florida requirements, but did meet the over-riding Federal requirements. Not to mention the ballots that never made it to the service member in the first place. True disenfranchisement that. As opposed to being too stupid or too lazy to properly mark the ballot.

Fifteenth Annual Florida Vote Recount shows Gore would have won by 25,213 votes.

Ex-President Bush spokesman says 1424 disconnected chads were found on floor after latest recount

In what has become an annual November tradition, Democrat party stalwarts and Liberal media pundits have announced the latest recount of the disputed 2000 election. As in the past, more votes were found to have been miscounted denying Ex-President-in-exile Albert Gore Jr., his rightful place in history.

"It is absolutely amazing how many ballots were disguised or hidden by the evil Republican operatives who sabotaged the election count," a Spokesman for the Gore campaign stated. "Along with their unindicted co-conspirators on the Supreme Court, these traitors diverted history and unconstitutionally denied President Gore his rightful retirement benefits!"

A retired Bush staffer, with a bored yawn asked, "How many free chads are found on the floor after every one of these recounts? I hear they swept up 1424 this year."

The Gore compaign chairman denied the chad count, stating, "I do not believe that. I saw those 'chads' and they looked more like bread crumgs to me. Besides, those ballots are practically swathed in scotch tape to keep the loose Gore chads in place I doubt any chads could fall out now."

A spokes person for the Broward County Elections Office Museum said the problem of chad fallout was being addressed by a plan to encase each ballot in a half inch block of bullet proof lexan plastic. "We are concerned with the damage the ballots have received in the last15 years and 42 recounts. Some of those ballots have so many creases they look like they have been through a war! We think the lexan will allow the recounters to continue their hobby for at least another 25 years."

President Cheney's office had no comment.

Besides, those ballots are practically swathed in scotch tape to keep any loose Gore chads in place. I really doubt any chads could fall out now. That janitor is a Republican Operative!" Matt Drudge, in an exclusive report on his Internet web site, reproduced the Janitor's voter registration card proving he is an illegal alien registered as a Democrat. A press release reitterating the democrat position added that the janitor has an uncle who once voted Republican and is therefore still suspect.

No, Matt Drudge has taken a calculated risk. By leaking the data set now, he has pretty much dared people to say Gore would be an unequivocal winner.

Hmmm, good call! I think you are right! I am sure he did the headline to get some publicity for his talk show this evening as well, but you are correct, and the headlines of the rest of the media pretty much bare this out.

Not the 537 that was erroneously certified. That 537 was after the illegal recount findings were subtracted from Bush's total. Harris screwed that up, in my opinion.

I agree. The SCOTUS **vacated** the SCOFLA ruling that ordered the extension of the filing deadline. Harris should have immedialtely amended the certification.
