You have to look at everything Novak writes to see if he is outing any other CIA operatives. Other than that he is just a propaganda tool for the bush administration. There is no way the GOP wants people's votes counted. They have opposed it at every turn, why would they change now? and why in this case?

During the 2000 presidential election, the Democrats, led by Al Gore, sent teams of lawyers around the state of Florida to challenge and throw out as many absentee votes as possible.

Why? Because they knew that many of the votes came from the military and favored Bush.

Of course, the MSM likes to CONVIENTLY forget about that but the historical reality remains.

The main stream media also likes to forget the USSC, as appointed almost exclusively by the republican party, thew out all the ballots in Florida to make up their own election result. Of course they broke the law, demolished the constitution and established new highs in judicial activism, by claiming jurisdiction, where they are specifically prohibited. Then they were directly self-contradictory in their contortions to anoint bush king. They even went so far as to say, none of those rulings were ever to be used as a precedent because if they were, no elections could ever be held in the US again.

Al Gore should have called on the military to oust the USSC and restore the constitution and the rule of law. Gore won the election, why do you tolerate a bush fascist regime?
