Good points. I don't think the Republicans would have stopped the counts if they thought they were going to win. I'm firmly certain that he won, and they were tossing Gore votes during the hand count due to absolute bullshit. Remember hanging chads?

Did you read the link?

The study, released in November 2001, took place over 10 months and cost nearly $1 million. The Washington Post explained, “153 field workers spent 6,500 hours describing every dimple, chad, erasure and relevant marking. Typists entered 17.5 million pieces of information into Chicago computers.”

What makes you more confident in your opinion then what they found?

Because this is who they had working on it:

The players: A national media consortium – composed of CNN, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Tribune Company, The Washington Post, The Associated Press, The St. Petersburg Times, and The Palm Beach Post – paid for the National Opinion Research Center, or NORC, at the University of Chicago to review 175,010 disputed Florida ballots – 61,190 undervotes and 113,820 overvotes.

And if you on your own are better than Al that, well, if you're not already in auditing professionally then you need to be.

Well I'm better than everybody so of course I'm better than all those hacks. Seriously though, thanks. I concede.
