I'm going out on a limb here

[CatWoman]

Watching Olberman, talking about the recount and the return of the "hanging chad".

If the Republicans pull that "fake riot" shit this time, in an attempt to shut down the recount, I'll be the first the hop into my truck and drive to Ohio to join a counter-riot.

Hopefully, I'll see some of you there.

[PrisonerLazy8]

17. What was the stated reason for the FL vote count "riot"?

Was the vote count going to proceed without Republican witness or some other reason?

[Skittles]

19. LOL

the stated reason was THEY WERE TRYING TO COUNT VOTES. That's all it takes for republican assholes to RIOT

[PrisonerLazy8]

20. I tend to agree but what was the trigger?

The counting had been going on for days and then this riot happened. What was the excuse the repubs used for their actions? I seem to recall the counting was going to be done without repub witness. Is that true?

[Skittles]

22. not true

the republicans just wanted the counting to end because they knew if all the votes were counted they would LOSE

[Zhade]

23. Ask Roger Stone, he set it up.

Why the riot? Gore was pulling ahead, even with all the fraud the Republicans committed.

[CatWoman]

24. funny -- I followed that religiously

and I never, ever heard that.

I seem to recall the counting was going to be done without repub witness. Is that true?

[proud_Kucitizen]

26. I don't think so either

There were republican witnesses counting each vote, one from each party looking at the ballots so I don't think that was it. Plus the media and other witnesses too. I know it sounds too ridiculous but it was they just wanted to stop the recount.

[Bridget Burke]

30. Gore was picking up votes--that's why the count had to be stopped.

With the Sunday deadline mandated by the Florida State Supreme Court fast approaching, the three-person canvassing board decided to scrap a total recount and tally only contested ballots. The board also announced it would move its operation to a smaller room closer to the computerized ballot-scanning machines in order to speed up the count. Despite the fact that observers and pool media could still be admitted, the GOP's Miami team, which had been decrying possible corruption in the count all along as Gore picked up another 157 votes, decided it was time to act.

The article also identifies the "rioters" as Republican operatives from outside Florida.

[CatWoman]

31. the "rioters" were actually staff members of Tom Delay.

[ellie]

I'm just up the road a spell.
