then we should demand and be allowed to recount by hand all the votes in FL too.
In an article put out by the Miami Herald yesterday, two reporters were allowed to observe hand recounts of the votes for President in 3 North FL counties.
In Union where they supposedly counted all the votes, Bush lost 3 votes and Kerry gained 21 votes. This is a significant change in a small county, especially since with optical scanners there shouldn't be any change at all. Funny how whenever recounts are done, Kerry always finds more votes?
The data for Suwanee County doesn't mean shit, since they didn't recount all the votes. Counting 60% just doesn't cut it, sorry.
Then onto Lafayette County where again Bush lost 8 votes and Kerry gained 3 votes. As usual, the differences favor Kerry
So, if the Miami Herald was allowed access to the ballots, then we should be too. Maybe Monday we can call around and see if any of the other counties will offer us the same service that was given to the Miami Herald? If any of them refuse, then we should raise holy hell. They can't say yes to the Miami Herald and then turn around and say no to everyone else. Allowing the Miami Herald just set a precedent that we should use to our advantage.
Below is a list with links to every Supervisor of Elections in FL. It's time to demand our right to count all the votes and find out who really won this state.
