26. There was one day that stands out in my memory when...

They were finding a dozen votes here and dozen votes there and the Democrats were gaining votes with each recount.

Then, without any public recount or anything resembling a recount, the Repubs found something like 300-400 votes and offered no explanation??? They simply added them to their totals. And they got away with it. I can't recall what county it was?

Then there was the one incident where they were disputing the military votes that came in late. Some had a date on them that was after the election took place. Very late indeed! But the Democratic nominee for VP, Joe Lieberman, took the side of the Republicans and insisted that those votes should be counted since they were military votes. It was a mess but the Republicans were going to "win" Florida, no matter what they had to do to steal it.
