Or make ballots disappear to steal the win from your brother's state (FL)
You really need to let go of the myth. What ballots disappeared and where? If you remember the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times all did investigative stories on that along with the ballot re-count. No basis in the charges. Bush won no matter what system of count was used.
Both sides have called for recounts in the past, and results have been reversed on both sides due to recounts.
No. Rossi won. She wanted a recount. He still won, she wanted a recount, he still won, she went to court, then she won.... Sounds fishy to me. Second time he won, she wanted a recount, she won by a small amount and he left it alone. Left babies that cheat!

Rossi was VERY SLIGHTLY ahead on the Election Day count in 04 and lost during a recount. The margin in 2008 wasn't even REMOTELY comparable to the margin in 2004.
This is like 16 years ago in MD when Ellen Sauerbrey was ahead of Parris Glendening by 100K votes at 11PM with Baltimore City not reporting. At 11:30 Baltimore came in with a 105K margin for Glendening. Nothing fishy there.
Do tell me what you remember about that election.
I seem to recall that Al bowed out gracefully even after the SCOTUS Selected the president of the US, not the people.
Do correct me if I'm wrong.

Selective memory. He conceded election night then retracted it. His operatives then were able to limit the re-count to three counties when FL election law required a ststewide re-count. That went back and forth. The time limit for ending the re-count and the election to be certified approached and the Supreme Court intervened at that point. If you remember one of the arguments coming from the Gore camp was to count Buchanan votes for Gore since people in Dade county wouldn't vote for Buchanan. Which is probably true and that ballot design was problematic.
If there is a close vote i'd expect a recount from both sides. If a democrat loses fair and square, they'll except the loss and move on. If a republican loses fair and square, they'll throw a tantrum and blame some kind of conspiracy/voter fraud/the weather/mickey mouse etc,..
Things have really changed that much since 2000? I think not and we know who the real babies are from that one. Recount after recount by the media proved that Florida really did belong to Bush, but you lefties refused to believe anything other than what you wanted to be true.
So is it ok for Democrats to steal elections but wrong for Republicans to do it?
It is wrong for either of them to steal elections but THEY can't see that is wrong for THEM to do it.
