Is he losing his lead because there is a concerted effort to find more votes for Gore? If you watched any of the procedings Saturday morning of Gore attorneys telling the Judge how to go about counting the ballots and that he could
train staff how to conduct the counts, any objective person would have been chilled. The problem is there are NO consistent standards across all counties that are being applied to the counting.
I would be 110% behind the recount if all the ballots [under-counts and no-votes] were counted under the exact same standards.
