Now, the Gore campaign is calling for yet another recount in selected, predominantly Democratic counties where there were large, unexplained swings in their favor in the recount,

We wouldn't be in this position if the Gore campaign had been willing to accept the results of the recount in Florida, ... They want these recounts to be in counties where they have these large margins. We don't think that's fair.

The Gore campaign is asking for a third recount here. We can go into Wisconsin, we can go into Iowa and start recounting,

The Gore campaign has refused to achieve finality unless they achieve the result they are seeking,

The Gore campaign strategy is crystal clear, ... Keep conducting selective recounts. Keep filing selective lawsuits, keep making false charges that divert attention, and keep refusing to accept any deadline until the results change.

A manual recount of the whole state of Florida is crazy,
