I guess you haven't been paying very much attention the last few years.
*Every* recount showed that Bush won Florida, despite the Democrats' frantic
attempts to steal the election.

Nope, not actually. They did show that if Gore had gotten every aspect of the
recount as he wanted it (just the heavy democratic counties and the most
liberal standard for what counted as a vote) it would have gone to Bush. On
the other hand, change to what were seen as the Rebuplican desires (recount
across the entire state and very restrictive standard for what counted as a
vote) and Gore would have won. Doesn't change the fact that there should have
been a full manual recount. Just common sense. When a number is well within
the margin of error, you need to take what steps are available to check that
number, and that includes not just counting with the same tool. (Measure
twice, but check your tool, too.)

But I guess you're right in your mind. Anyone disagreeing with you has got to
merely be attempting to steal an election (or whatever else is bad), and anyone

agreeing with you has got to be right and good, no matter their actions.

The United States Supreme Court voted seven to two that the recounts that
the Democrats were conducting in Florida violated both state and Federal
election law, and the Federal Constitution.
