Won't it be a hoot if Gore is allowed a full state recount and finds that he
lost
.... AGAIN!!! ~LOL
Here's the daily dose of Gore Lore:
>>
> ~~~~~~~~~~~~
> A proposed revision to the rules of golf is being sought in
> South Florida which will replace the traditional call of "FORE".
>
> Once a player has hit an errant shot he will be allowed to call
> "GORE" while the ball is still in flight. He can then replace the
> ball in the same spot and hit it again.
>
> The player can do this until he is satisfied the ball is going
> where he intended to hit it in the first place. This will cause the
> time of play to be extended until such time the player can
> claim the hole.
>
> This revision is causing some consternation to the PGA but
> proponents say it is only fair.
>
> A recent test of this new rule was recently played out in an
> exclusive club in Palm Beach County Florida and the first hole
> only took 19 days to complete.

> TALLAHASSEE, Florida, Nov 27 (AFP) - Lawyers for Democratic
> candidate Al Gore described the official presidential vote tally
> in Florida as "wrong" Monday, saying Gore was deprived of at
> least 1,800 votes that would have won him the state and the White
> House.
>
> The official tally certified late Sunday gave Republican rival
> George W. Bush a 537-vote victory in the southeastern state.
>
> The Gore complaint filed by attorney Dexter Douglass here shortly
> after 12:15 pm (1715 GMT), contested the count in three Florida
> counties: Miami-Dade, Nassau and Palm Beach.
>
> In the written complaint, Gore said he would have picked up a net
> gain of 1,025 votes if all manual recounts had been completed and
> certified. He also said he would have gained a further 800 votes
> if counters in Palm Beach county had tallied 4,000 ballots that
> were marked with an indentation but were not fully punctured. In
> the complaint, the Gore camp said the certified election results
> were simply wrong. "This is an action to contest the
> certification that George W. Bush and Richard Cheney received
> more votes in the presidential election in the state of Florida
> than Al Gore and Joe Lieberman," it read. "The vote totals
> reported in the election canvassing commission certification of
> November 26, 2000, are wrong. "They include illegal votes, and
> do not include legal votes that were improperly rejected. The
> number of such votes is more than sufficient to place in doubt,
> indeed to change, the result of the election."
>
> The case was assigned to Judge Sanders Sauls, according to a
> court clerk. After being forced to extend the certification
> deadline 12 days to Sunday by aFlorida Supreme Court ruling that
> ordered the inclusion of manual recounts in the final tally,
> Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris declared Bush the
> victor late Sunday by just 537 votes out of some six million
> ballots cast.
>
> But her decision to ignore partial recounts submitted by Palm
> Beach as well as prior steps taken by officials in Miami-Dade and
> Nassau counties, drew quick denunciation from Democrats who say
> the official count is inaccurate and incomplete.
>
> Gore's running mate, Senator Joseph Lieberman, lashed out at
> Harris' certification shortly after her announcement, saying he
> and the vice president had "no choice" but to contest the vote
> counts, as is allowed under state law. "Vice President Gore and
> I have no choice but to contest these actions," he said, flatly
> rejecting calls from the Bush camp to drop the challenges and
> concede the election.
>
> Among their complaints, the Democrats allege that thousands of
> ballots in Miami-Dade were never tallied because vote-count
> machines could not read them. The Democrats also want the court
> to compel Miami-Dade electoral officials to complete their hand
> recount which they say was halted last week after they were
> intimidated by boisterous crowd of Bush supporters. Even without
> a full recount there, however, they say partial hand recounts
> showing a net gain of 156 votes for Gore in Miami-Dade should
> have been included in Harris' certified total.
>
> In Nassau County, Gore is contesting a decision by the canvassing
> board on Friday to use original vote totals, instead of the
> state-mandated machine recount, that cost the vice president 52
> votes. "We seek restoration of the recounted total," the Gore
> legal team said in a summary of their filings in the circuit
> court here. In Palm Beach, the Democrats will try to prove that
> the canvassing board refused to abide by a judge's order to
> determine the voters' intent by refusing to count as many as
> 2,000 disputed ballots.
