The fact of the matter is that they are entitled to request a recount. We're entitled to give them a recount.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Once they ask for a recount, we will provide them with a recount.
I find it odd that there's such strong objection to what is a clear way to assure that our elections are reliable and we can do a recount if there are any questions.
No one looks forward to a recount.
It's the details and the human element that makes 'Recount' entertaining. Even though we know how the election ends, it plays like a thriller. It's also funny.
If Al Gore had allowed us and if the Florida Supreme Court had not intervened and rewritten the law, which they're not supposed to do, we could have certified, which is a mere procedural action, and then after that, they could have petitioned any justice for a recount statewide with uniform standards.
If people want to take the time to vote, they should be able to, and their vote should be counted.
I can't see where there is anywhere left to move. If you don't have a recount it's hard to receive any more votes.
The people who cast the votes don't decide an election, the people who count the votes do.
In 1998 Harry Reid and I had a very close race. It was less than a tenth of a percentage point. We had a reasonable recount. There were a lot of things that I could have pursued at the time, but I just felt that at the time that I should have, you know, conceded the race.
It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.
