> Mr. Bush kept saying during his campaign that "I trust the people." I wonder why he is so opposed to a hand recount to ascertain that the votes of the people whom he "trusts" really count?

One also wonders what ever happened to "Every Vote Counts". I find it interesting that the first time in my life I've seen the truth of that statement so dramatically demonstrated, so many people have changed their tune saying those 19,000 votes simply don't matter.
Another way I'm looking at it is that the 19,000 disqualified votes, not to mention the estimated 2-3000 miscast votes is the equivalent size of probably most of the mid-sized small towns in America.
My sisters live in a little hamlet of around 5,000 souls. If those folks had all their votes thrown out of this election the town would have probably declared war on the federal government by now.
