You make the claim “all roses are red”. I point out an example of a white rose.

You didn't bring up a "white rose," you inserted a poinsettia. Your logic is faulty.

First, you make the patently false assertion that, Usually if the number of outstanding ballots does not affect the outcome of a race, they aren’t tallied.

Then you bring up the example of FL where an alleged 3,000 valid military votes were not counted despite being in a Republican-controlled state and an election that was decided by a few hundred votes. Obviously, the reason they were supposedly not counted had nothing do with the fact that the "number of outstanding ballots does not affect the outcome of a race." You fail to say why they were not counted. The only assumption that can be made is that they did not meet the state's legal requirements for a valid vote.

I have no idea why you continue to defend the indefensible. As much as you try, your assertion that legal votes are not counted if they don't affect the outcome of a race is nonsense. Every legal vote is counted regardless of whether it affects the outcome of the race or not.

Merry Christmas.

How many more electors would Bush have had with those 3,000 ballots?

And that rose is a rose and smells of a rose.
