I just looked up the recount numbers on msnbc.com and I have a few thoughts that immediately jumped up. The first is that Gore has gained almost 3 times as many votes as Bush in the recount so far.
Ok that could be statistical anomaly. However, Gore also gained votes in about 1.5-2 times as many counties as Bush. That is also excusable when not in conjuction with the overall picture. The highest number of votes gained in the recount in one county is for Gore over 700 while Bush hasn't broken 200.
I'm not proposing a theory on how or why, but as a responsible citizen I must question the integrity of the voting process based on these numbers. I must also say that the voting process seems to have been altered almost unilaterally in that Gore is hurt by this much more than Bush is, or in other words Bush is helped by this because Gore is hurt.
In an election this close I as an American INSIST that the vote be 1) of the the poeple, by the people, and for the people and 2) Fair.
