The recount itself dances around the fact that thousands of people showed up to vote, thought they voted, but had their ballots discarded because of design flaws in the machines. Those machines have known failure rates and thus reliably lose votes, and they were used primarily in Democratic-leaning counties, while Republican counties got superior technology with near-zero failure rates.

Absolutely despicable. Nobody likes to remember the 4 newspapers that pooled resources to count the contested ballots from 2000 & found that GWB won 3 out of the 4 scenarios for counting the ballots. It was buried in the newspapers around May of the following year. I guess a few of you guys have forgotten the stolen Governor’s seat in Washington 4 years ago. Absolutely despicable.
