Letter: Hand count all Florida counties

Friday, Nov. 17, 2000 | 9:41 a.m.

Hand counting will always generate more votes and it will most likely be in favor of the candidate who had the majority. To hand count just Democratic counties in Florida would be unfair to both the country and the Republican electorate.

Therefore, if one county is hand counted, all counties in Florida should be treated in the same manner with the same rules. It would be worth the time and wait to clear the air and should be acceptable by all parties.

However, it would be interesting to see how a president would govern with half the population believing he is in office through manipulation rather than a fair count of the vote. I wonder if we will pull together as we have in the past to support the newly elected president. This may be new ground being plowed.
