re: be on alert!!! grant Just to further clarify the Florida situation, was it not the case that:

1)
The "Democrats moved to disqualify hundreds of military ballots from overseas on technicalities even as they vowed that 'all votes must be counted'”?
source - Britannica Yearbook 2001 (covering the events of 2000).

2)
The Republicans first sought Federal intervention after the events of 1) became known?

3)
All 7 members of the Florida Supreme Court had been originally nominated by Democratic governors (7 of the 9 Federal Supreme Justices were Republican appointees)?

4)
That the Florida Supreme Court "twice extended the recount process, saying that protecting the right to vote was more critical than observing a legislative-set timetable" which, in itself, violated Federal Law, and then failed to protect the rights of serving military to have their votes counted, as well?

5)
One of the reasons why the military vote was excluded /challenged by the Democrats was that this vote heavily favoured the Republicans?

All things considered, the very same behaviour of which the Republicans were accused of in Florida was, itself, practised by the Democrats.
