Al Gore and the Undervotes
Chad Gang.
In spite of Tuesday’s Supreme
Court decision, Al Gore and his followers still say that he would have
won if only there had been a ‘full and complete’ recount of the undervotes.
Al Gore, champion of the undervotes, would not have won a fair statewide
recount.
The Florida State Law as
stated on or before November 7, 2000 is not in conflict with the U.S. Constitution.
Unfortunately, the Florida Supreme Court changed the rules on November
21, 2000. The United States Supreme Court told them that they were
wrong in the most polite way that they could. Seven of the nine Federal
Supreme Court Justices ruled that is unconstitutional for there to be such
widely disparate standards for re-counting votes in Florida. Neither
the Gore Gang nor the Bush Rangers were comfortable with what a full statewide
recount might have yielded. The thousand or so votes that the Gore
Gang found in South Florida would be lost if strict re-count standards
are observed in all Florida counties. This strict remedy is what
the seven-justice majority would have found constitutional. |

| So, like a stand-off in
an old western, AlGore and his Undervote Chad Gang of desperados, continue
to ride through the canyon of legal maneuvers. The Bush Rangers with
his Supreme Court posse are in hot pursuit. The American voters are
the horses that carry these two determined men. The horses are lathered
and exhausted. Some of them are stumbling and panting in the unrelenting
heat of media scrutiny. Al Gore spurs his horse, Jessie, into one
more heroic effort. Two of the Federal Supreme Court Justices slow
their horses to a walk. Bush and his seven other rangers press on.
Joe, Al’s faithful sidekick, checks the stolen ballots in his saddlebags,
and then presses on. He does not know what cunning place Al Gore
has found. No one knows. This mad, desperate run must
end before the horses either collapse and die, or, buck their riders off. |
