WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 decision to suspend the counting of disputed presidential ballots in Florida last year remains one of the most controversial actions in the court's two centuries of history. But a year later, there's this important update: An exhaustive review of the state's ballots suggests that George W. Bush would have won anyway.

The consortium accepted all the completed recounts and applied each county's recounting plans and standards to that county's ballots. The result: Mr. Bush again, by 493 votes.

This discounts the whole "study". Very unscientific to accept the democratic counts and then build on them with a supposedly unbiased "media" count. Not prudent.

No Discussion on the Miltary Votes?

O.K. Now, HOW many times does this make that Bush wins on recount? I lost track after the first five or six.

I looked and looked, no talk of military votes ... and not a word about the widespread election fraud nationwide. If these idiots wish to "investigate" the problems with Election 2000, they must do their duty as the peoples watchdog and dig into all the stories of students triple voting, the huge numbers of deceased Democrats still on the voter rolls ( I can attest to that one), elimination of proof of ID at polling places, prison and recent immigrant Demo registration campaigns, cigarrettes for votes in skid rows nationwide, Democrat bussing of the elderly to polls.... I could go on.

The Big press is transparent in their "concern" about the election... they do nothing to investigate. They'd rather spend money on recounts of Florida ballots. Easier, dont'chaknow?

The score is now:

Bush 11
Gore 0

The military absentee votes were definitely not counted by the consortium in the study released yesterday. Donald Lambro's front page report in today's Washington Times (11/12/01) states: "Hundreds of absentee ballots by military personnel were never counted in key counties, but these numbers were not part of the varying ballot count scenarios that were used in the study that was made public yesterday."

Beyond dispute, George W. Bush has won the presidency more times than any man in American history!

poor ballot design and a lack of voter education.

This butterfly ballot was designed by Democrap Theresa LaPore.

It is a fact that the lower socio-economic classes vote overwhelmingly Democrap.

So, it looks like these idiots lost their own election; if they hadn't spent the last 30 years dumbing down our public schools, then maybe these lunkhead "Palm Beach voter" types could have figured out just HOW to properly mark their ballots. I find it funny that instead of admitting that the voters rejected 8 more years of Democrap fiddling in the White House while America burned, they instead blame some sort of voter fraud by Republicans. Gimme a break!

Is there anyone out there that has a copy of last years law governing Florida recounts?
