Reply #172: Al Gore had a plan for Hand Counting the Ballots and

[kster]

being as he has BEEN THERE DONE THAT, He should know BEST that it can indeed be done, if we use Al Gores plan to Hand Count all the Ballots from Florida 2000, and we KNOW going into the election 2008 that we are going to be Hand counting the ballots, we should be able to streamline Al Gores plan, and hand count not just one, but three races in couple of days.

HERES Al Gores statement...

Offer to Bush: Hand count, then meet to show unity
I propose a way to settle this matter with finality and justice.
First, we should complete hand counts already begun in Palm Beach, Dade, &
being as he has BEEN THERE DONE THAT...

Broward Counties to determine the true intentions based on an objective evaluation of their ballots. Observers and participants from both parties should be present in every counting room as required under Florida law. If this happens, I will abide by the result, and I will take no legal action to challenge the result.

I am also prepared, if Gov. Bush prefers, to include in this recount all the counties in the entire state of Florida. I would also be willing to abide by that result. We believe the count can be completed within seven days of the time it starts.

Second, I propose that Gov. Bush and I meet personally, before the vote count is finished, not to negotiate, but to improve the tone of our dialogue in America.

Shortly after the results are known, we should both come together for another meeting to reaffirm our national unity.
