'Bush wins media recount" was the headline, in various forms, in nearly every newspaper after the National Opinion Research Center's (NORC) recount of votes in Florida. The headlines imply that Bush actually received more votes in Florida than Gore. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Under any scenario where all of the votes are counted, Gore won. The only scenarios where Bush won were those where significant numbers of votes were simply not counted.

<snip>

Furthermore, many overvotes were entirely legal. They simply weren't counted because a voter may have punched in Gore's name and written it down to be certain the counter got the message. If all of Florida's counties had error-checking machines in the precincts to prevent such overvotes, Gore's margin of victory would have been beyond any doubt! The media consortium paid practically no attention to these ballots. Why? To conceal the strongest evidence by far that Florida's voters preferred Gore.

Gore won under a strict-counting scenario and he won under a loose-counting scenario. No matter how you count it, if everyone who legally voted in Florida had a chance to see his or her vote matter, Al Gore would be sitting in the Oval Office today.

After Sept. 11, many seemed to feel it was their patriotic duty not to do anything to call into question the authority of the commander-in-chief. However, if we're supposed to support a war effort against an enemy that hates us because of our free, democratic process, shouldn't we first ensure that we really are living by that democratic process?

We've already witnessed the shredding of the Constitution in the name of the war on terrorism (secret searches, indefinite

There were, at a minimum, serious irregularities in the election of 2000. At worst, there may have been illegalities committed by a number of state and national government officials. Yet all we hear are, "Get over it" or "It's time to move on."

<snip>

While we must surely try to return our lives to the best semblance of normal in the wake of Sept. 11, we must not let those events go without recourse. We must fully investigate and understand the events that lead to the fiasco that became the Florida recount of 2000. If that points to the fact that the wrong man is occupying the White House, we must face that and deal with it appropriately. We do our principles and ourselves no good by hiding or "spinning" the facts, ignoring or misstating the truth.

George W. Bush was not the choice of a majority of Floridians (or of all Americans). Therefore, to "restore honor and integrity to the office" he should either resign the presidency, allowing Al Gore to take over immediately, or he should be removed. This would be unprecedented, no doubt. It would likely cause great turmoil too. The country will survive, as it has after other crises, because it is the right thing to do.

This I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I mus fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. -- John Steinbeck
