What's messed up about this, is that after the 2000 election, the press pooled their resources and a full hand recount was done in Florida, using very loose standards (remember the hanging chads) and it was done on purpose to say G. W. Bush's win was not legitimate. Now, the recounts showed he won, and that the Dems were prevented by a braver SCOTUS from recounting again and again until they got the results they wanted, but damn, Florida allowed for the recounts after the fact.
