What's with all the DINOs? Democrats don't support Bush stealing the election.

No, unlike the loony leftists, they don't support Gore's blatant attempt to disenfranchise an entire state.
While not counting Florida's EVs at all was basically the constitutional solution in this mess, that's not what Gore wanted.

Well, by delaying the count, he would have accomplished that.  He delays the counting so the safe harbor deadline cannot be met, he can legitimately challenge the selection of the electors.  Consider also that, at no point during the process, was Gore ever leading in the count in FL.
Uh - Republicans delayed the count. At just about every step. Including a certain partisan judge impounding ballot boxes so noone could recount them, and including a staged riot to stop recounts in Dade.
