The statewiude recount was mandated under the 1998 (1996?) consent decree, by previous legal precedents and in the Florida statutes. Also, Terry Lewis ordered a stateside recount of undervotes. He allegedly was also going to expand that order to include overvotes. BTW, Bush also requested recounts in only 4 counties. Also, even NewsMax has a story about Gore offering a state-wide recount - which Bush rejected. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2000/11/15/152106.shtml Spin it however you want. Bush got his 4 counties and that was all he needed to manufacture enough votes to win. He sued to block every other recount - even those mandated under law. -- "Anybody who wants to harm American troops will be found and brought to justice. There are some that feel like if they attack us that we may decide to leave prematurely. They don't understand what they are talking about if that is the case. Let me finish. There are some who feel like the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is, bring 'em on." - George WMD Bush, July 2, 2003 And they did. Impeach Bush NOW!!! Before more young kids die.
