Regarding the "count every vote' comment. Democrats showed up at the Florida polls and got their ballots, then said they poked the wrong holes and asked for replacement ballots. After Gore lost Florida they then wanted both sets of ballots counted, the origials and the replacements. Effectively that would be allowing the Democrats to vote 2 times for Gore and stealing the election.
Fortunately the Supreme Court saw through the scheme and blocked any more recounts and the decision fell to Kathrine Harris per Florida state law.
George Soros then followed up with a Save Our States plan to stack swing states with leftist secretary of states so in the future close elections would be called for Democrats.
