Of course with Trump, you get both at the same time… “What do you mean I lost the popular vote? I’m the most popular president in history Must have been those illegal immigrants voting.”

I’m not sure with this Supreme Court that would have a good outcome. Conservative Supreme Courts have a history of making bad decisions to support conservative election politics, e.g. suppressing the 2000 presidential election recount which very likely would have shown Gore to be the winner against Bush.

Only under one standard – advocated by neither Bush nor Gore – did Gore come out on top in any Florida recount. And then by three votes.

Moore’s votes were “suspiciously low” in some Republican districts?
This is like saying “the Cleveland Browns are ‘suspiciously low’ in the NFL standings.”
There ain’t nothing “suspicious” about it. Sometimes teams, and people, just stink.

Of course none of it relates to the fact that 20,000 registered Republican voters voted for, “Anyone But That Child Molester”

Spoiler alert. It won’t. Trying to chase people like my family is madness, because if you are in any way diffrent from The Right Party you are the devil that is ruining the nation.

There were a slew of arguably bad decisions made due to politics at all levels of government in the vote counting. Wikipedia has a clear summary of the impact that those decisions had on the count, showing that they swung about 1500 votes to Bush. The official count showed him winning by only about 500 votes, so those 1500 votes likely swung him the election.
The only reasonable thing to do would have been to do a thorough and accurate recount, but because that might have changed the results, the SC forcibly stopped the recount, overriding the Florida Supreme Court’s decision to permit the recount. Even if you believe that Bush would still have won, the recount should have been finished to prove it.

In other news, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
(Don’t mention Rob Ford. I mentioned him once, but I think I got away with it.)

Been a while since I thought about all this, but Gore’s problem was that he asked for different counties to be allowed to use different standards – the ones that were locally seeming to his advantage – and on that effort, his position was ruled against by the SC 7-2. He’d have done better simply by insisting on a recount in a broader sense, though the media’s own recounts still show Bush up by 500-1,000 votes in most cases.
But his work goes marching on (in Catalonia).

No, it was an amazing movie, funny and sweet and a great adaptation of the source material, IMHO.
But that is a magnificent scene, no matter what. And highly appropriate here.

I cry foul on that image!
It was pretty clear from the election day video that Roy Moore didn’t know one end of a horse from another. I believe the crucial voters he annoyed were people who loved horses or knew how to ride one.
