4. My e-mail that I sent to the authors of the piece:
In two recent Miami Herald articles, "Independent vote
count confirms Bush win in northern Florida" & another
concerning the checks of voter logs in Broward, I seem
to have stumbled across blatant and irresponsible
partisan journalism in a major newspaper. To report
that your recount "confirms" the Bush win, or that it
proves there was nothing out of the ordinary occurring
is first of all factually incorrect, but most
importantly, opinionated and clearly is conveying a
biased conclusion. I am disgusted.

Put this in your pipe and smoke it:
From the two totals printed in the first article,
Kerry picked up 37 votes over the "official" count on
7,952 total votes. The rest of the votes you counted
"nearly matched" the county's totals. (I'd like to see
how nearly matched they really were) Multiply this
discrepancy over the 7.5 million Florida voters, and
you have Kerry gaining 35,000 votes. What if this
happened in Ohio? Would Kerry have conceded? And if
you're thinking the "discrepancies" should be evenly
distributed to favor both sides, you're right. But,
they don't. Show me one "irregularity" or "unexplained
discrepancy" that favors Kerry, and I'll show you 100
that favor Bush. I challenge you just to find one. Now
that is the real story here, not what you've printed.
