Thanks. That is the first time I've heard Dominion identified as the former Diebold whose former (and present?) CEO was a major contributor to the Republicans back in Bush II's second campaign. That would explain why Cheney made a phone call mid-afternoon election day and the ballot totals suddenly started turning to a Bush win, against all probability.

4 different recounts were done in Florida showing Bush winning all 4 in 2000 btw. That's why they now have the most well-oiled vote tabulation in the country.

Well, Gore's objection was: "I know we've done this 4 times already, but we have to keep doing it. Also, don't count those red counties again, since there might be more Bush votes hiding in there." At a certain point, you do have to stop or we'd still be counting them :)
