The republicans don't want to hand recount, even after the machine recount was shown to contain errors. They don't want to "put the county through more pandemonium." Gosh, that's so sweet of them. Yes, let's not bother anyone with any more work, it's not like it's people's votes you're talking about. Every time the republicans open their collective mouths about this, not once I have heard them say "We want to make sure the will of the people is done." No, they just say "It's right! It's right! Leave it alone!" I'm sorry, but you have to be completely lacking in basic math and statistical skills to not concede that less than 1,000 votes is way within any margin of error for a state the size of Florida.
You also have to be a pretty dim bulb to want to win on a questionable margin. Both candidates should show a willingness to determine the correct result, regardless of the outcome. So, Bush and his cronies are already showing their true colors.
