Some wondered whether Florida's tally was corrupt, with one Internet site writing: ``George W. Bush's vote tallies, especially in the key state of Florida, are so statistically stunning that they border on the unbelievable.''
Last week, The Herald went to see for itself whether Bush's steamroll through North Florida was legitimate. Picking three counties that fit the conspiracy theory profile -- staunchly Democratic by registration, whoppingly GOP by voting -- two reporters counted more than 17,000 ballots over three days.
The conclusion: No conspiracy.


I was able to go to the link the first time, but got the same thing you did second time.

This isnt the full story, but the jist of it..

I know I checked it out. Not sure what are they referring to as a conspiracy though. Also to dismiss it just like that, because some politician says so. That's what I call active journalism, the truth will be thrown at you. No need to look for it.

No I said that on another thread, and figured I would quote myself before someone beat me to it.

That article is a total lie, without approval of the board of elections there is no recount, they haven't approved it. If a group of reporters can just go do their own recount then anyone could and it would be happening all over the state. It just isn't happening. The Herald was one of the few FL newspapers that endorsed GW

Right in the article they do the same thing as all these stupid pundit shows out there. And what is the truth exactly for all you posers out there? Do any of us know? No we don't. As ASsman said the truth will be shoved up our ass, no need to look for it.

All we can do is research and read and post anything we feel is relevant and may apply in the future. Only reason I posted the draft thread is because if the possibility of one exists out there, I think everyone here should know about it. Even the righties. Dismiss information if you will, but I think some things warrant consideration .



The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

Ok it wasn't an "official" recount;
Let's call it an "Experiment"
Yes, The Miami Herald are Bush Brownie-Hounds.
Interesting, though.
