Reply #8: They 'gave' the votes they had stolen back to Gore...

[IndyOp]

after the -16,022 'error' was discovered. So it alone would not have changed the election results. The fact of this very obvious sort of error does leave open the possibility that a lot more votes were being added to Bush's tally or subtracted from Gores - but I don't know of any evidence that this was the case. We do know that the -16,022 had a big impact on media and public sentiment -- such that the Supreme Court decision went through without protest. There should have been huge protests -from someone other than the Republican congressional staffers who were flown to Florida on Halliburton jets to protest the recounts.
