Check out this thread I posted a while back on the 2000 election . . . it is a pretty good summary of the legal issues as well as my rebuke to a radio talk show host who complained about the results.

An Open Letter to Bob Brinker

[BooBoo1000]

The Montana Democratic party consists of all of the Liberal, slime, posing as professors in all of the state schools of higher education, a bunch of thugs from Butte, and the Montana Education Association.

Montana will have to watch this or the Dems will steal the seat from the Repubs.

Thanks for your well-reasoned points and your letter to Bob Brinker. Your points are consistent with what I've read about the 2000 election. For me, the significant point is that the Florida Supreme Court was entirely out of line. Their blatantly partisan ruling could not stand. What authority at the time could have ensured the proper outcome you describe? The FL Supreme Court was trying to engineer the victory of its chosen candidate, Al Gore. The FL legislature did not want to determine the election results, perhaps because the FL governor is the brother of George Bush. If the US Supreme Court had refused to take the case, wouldn't the FL Supreme Court decision have prevailed, with vote recounting continuing in selected areas until they found enough votes for Mr. Gore?
