Reply #26: It is much easier to recount votes in a very close election when there

[Zorra]

is reasonable suspicion of fraud than it is to have have the populace of a nation believe that their democracy has been subverted.

Personally, I have never recognized the monkeyboy as President of the US. If he had consented to a recount in Florida instead of desperately trying to stop it, I could have recognized him as President. A very significant number of Americans feel the same as I do.

It is the primary reason almost half the people in this nation thoroughly despise Bu*h. (The fact that he is ignorant, corrupt, evil, and an imminent threat to the continued existence of our nation doesn't help either).

IMO, it is extremely important for the people in a democracy to have reasonable confidence that their voting system and vote counting process is accurate and honorable.
