Those votes were counted, Desh. As they were in Ohio.
In this case, they are simply still counting and we are awaiting a result. Nobody on "we"'s side has asked for special consideration, nor has anybody asked for the votes to be counted again.
There was an automatic recount, (that was the second time), then another recount ordered in those specific counties. I shouldn't use hyperbole because apparently people expect perfect accuracy rather than conversational English when I am "speaking". All of those votes were counted, Nigel. Twice at least and some on their way to a third. (BTW - Gore picked the wrong counties, he could have had a recount that actually could have been done quickly (likely before court rulings) that would have won him the election.)Actually, Damo, Florida votes were not counted, recounted and recounted again. That's what the Supreme Court ruling was all about. It ordered that the recount process should be stopped because it was proceeding in an unconstitutional manner. As a result of the Supreme Court stopping the recount, the Supreme Court effectively decided that Bush won.
I'd rather not get into a disagreement about it, but you can't just fabricate what actually happened.
