Manual recounts were an entirely legitimate process under Florida law,
which has long held that ascertaining the will of the voters takes
precedence over all other considerations.

The "will of the voters" was clearly divided. So the electoral delegates
should have been as well.

Not permisable under Florida election law, as it existed on election

It was Gore who was attempting to change the standard.

Pithy soundbites are your forte and are usually a good way to debate.
Say enough to indicate derision and superior knowledge, but too little
to be actually challenged in reply.

Here, however, Dick has done a much more credible job of explaining and
defining his position. Merely saying "no" in a sentence or two isn't an
effective rebuttal in an issue as fraught with controversy as this one
was (and obviously still is, given the nature of the exchanges like this
one which are still occurring three and a half years later).
