You _do_ realize that when Florida set up their voting statute, they chose to include an automatic re-count if the two candidates were separated by less than 1/2 of one percent of the total vote? They did this to be _sure_ that no human or mechanical or electronic failure would influence the vote and overrule the will of the people. I'm not surprised you find this funny. Being "sure" is not exactly something I would associate with you. I don't like the fact that it is taking so long, but that is their legal code. They are required to wait for 10 days to give absentee ballots time to arrive since Florida residents out of the country do not give up their right to vote. Normally those votes have no affect on the outcome, and there is no delay. This time the election is close enough they can affact the final winner. Now please return to computer chess. Complaints about this US bashing nonsense are mounting.
