Somebody answer this,the election for prez......

[ROYC75]

Al Gore claims to have won the popular vote,I don't buy this yet! He has won the total to this date by ,what 200-300,000 votes.Look at this and tell me what you think.

California has 1 millon overseas ballots that are not counted yet,they will not count them because it will not change the outcome on the Californias vote. Futhermore,more states are in the same mode that the outcome will not change the states.

With this in mind,It will change the total outcome of the popular vote 1 way or the other.Now I don't know how that would come up in the totals,but I would bet that all states that are like this are the overseas ballots that would push Bush over the hump on popular votes!

IMHO,Gore claims let every vote be counted.....Let it count in all states too,then stop crying about not winning the election .

Does anybody feel this way? Just looking for the truth to this election,no clouds over the next Prez !

[58Forever]

Royc, sorry, there is already a cloud over the next prez...regardless of who finally gets in...looks like Bush, they won't have a mandate to lead the country...so basically we won't have much of a prez the next 4 years..unless of course becomes some great leader overnight...doubtful.

Gore on the other hand is basically screwing himself at any hope of running again in four years...no democrat in their right minds would vote for him as a candidate after the way he's handled himself...

Gore, Bush, of Joe Blow...the next 4 years will be like not having a prez at all...<P>

[BIG_DADDY]

My understanding is they are not even going to count absentee ballots in many of these states as well. NY is a prime example. I don't believe that Sore won the popular vote as well.

BIG DADDY
If I have to look at Sore & Loserman for the next 4 years I am going to have to keep a puke bucket next to my desk.

The popular vote means nothing. Anyone clinging to the popular vote as a reason to contest the election either:

1. does not understand that we live in a representational republic

or

2. is twisting the situation in an attempt to overturn the certified results.

Neither case shows the person in a good light. Take your pick, are they ignorant or disingenuous?

either way, has zero respect for Gore and his ilk.<BR>

Big Daddy...

I Agree...I don't think he has,if they count all the ballots,like Algore wants,Bush wins both counts!

I don't buy into the popular vote thing,but the Dem's and Algore is barking up a tree about it...Let all votes be counted...let the Dogs lay where they be!

Gaz,
We are a democracy, not a republic. Just ask Gore [img]http://www.chiefsplanet.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img]

They have already counted the ballots. Twice.

The voter has a responsibility to follow the rules when casting his vote. If he does not follow those rules, his vote should not count. The “intent of the voter” crap is nonsense and an insult to the millions of people who did follow the rules.

· If the ballot was confusing, change it before the next election.
· If the voters are stupid, educate them before the next election.
· If the card machines are antiquated, change them before the next election.
· If you don’t like the Electoral College, change it before the next election.

The votes were counted and then re-counted in accordance with Florida law. Bush won and Gore is making a mockery of the system in his desperation to sit in the big chair.

The good news is that public and political support for Gore’s legal attack on the election system is dissipating like a fart in a stiff breeze.

I'm with you buddy,but I'm sick of Gore say'n he won the popular vote and all votes should be counted!

I wish they would count all the votes so Gore will lose both counts! [img]http://www.chiefsplanet.com/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]

I'm just curious then, if it is true that the republican staffers in two counties filled out missing information on thousands of ballots where the voters had failed to include the required information, should those votes be disqualified?

DaWolf-

Did the go through the machine and were they counted? If so, then they are legitimate ballots. If not, they should be discounted.

Do not mistake me for a Bush supporter. I am an independent who is sickened by the Democrats' disgusting behavior.

ok someone answer me this. i've heard that in some states (i can't remember which) they stopped counting because one of the candidates was so far ahead that it wouldn't make a difference. does anyone know if this is true. if it is shouldn't we go back and count the rest of those votes? just so no one can ***** about the popular vote? even though it makes no difference what that turns out to be

JC_Johnny-

Excellent analogy.

Since the only criterion that matters is the final score, Tampa Bay won the game. They can weep and wail and howl about their statistics all they like, but the victor was determined by the rules already in effect at the time of the contest.

would throw Gore out of the game for unsportsmanlike conduct.<BR>
