The margin is 5%
Edited on Thu Nov-11-04 05:51 PM by pmbryant
Is that really within the legal criterion for a recount? I'd be surprised.

What is the original source of this information?

8. I don't think it's about the margin.
It's not Kerry who is going to recount, so what does the margin have to do with it?

13. Isn't there a legal criterion on how narrow the margin must be...
for an automatic state-wide recount to be done?

Otherwise, it would cost someone a hell of a lot of money, I'd think.

:shrug:

15. It's not going to be an automatic recount.
And yes, it is going to cost a lot of money. That's why they are asking for donations.

6. She mentioned how the media were able to recount the votes after 2000.
It sounded like that may be the path they will be taking.

10. 299 to 239
When I heard Bev say this I got thinking what the EV totals should have been so now to bring good psychic energy to this effort in Ohio and Florida everyone please keep these two numbers in mind

299 EVs for Kerry

239 EVs for the freak-in-chief

I'd like to give NM to Kerry but haven't heard of any recount efforts there....

299 to 239 repeat after me 299 to 239!!!!

sounds great to me. To hell with the majority - we had that last and it only got us awol. P.S. still bet if ALL the votes were counted correctly we would win the popular vote also

14. On election night Martinez had beat Castor by just 1%
Edited on Thu Nov-11-04 06:27 PM by DoYouEverWonder
deleted content.


Edit: just checked the latest results. They have Martinez up by 2.5%.

Somehow between election night and now, Martinez found another 1.5%?

17. WHO is recounting Florida?
These posts make me think Bev & Co. are going to do the counting - that can't be what she said, is it?
