Bret Baier on Fla. Recount: ‘This Is Thousands and Thousands of Votes and There Would Have To Be Systemic Failure for that to Change’

‘Republicans saying they just want this to go forward so they can declare a winner’

EXCERPT:

BAIER: “What’s interesting here is that this machine recount, if you look at the spread in each of these races in Florida, machine recounts traditionally only move the vote about maybe 200-300 votes. Remember the Tallahassee debacle in 2000. I was there for 40 days and 40 nights bouncing from courtroom to courtroom, looking at hanging chads and judges making rulings, and that was over just a few hundred votes that separated Al Gore and George Bush. This is thousands and thousands of votes and there would have to be systemic failure for that to change. That is why Democrats are raising the prospect of why are Republicans filing all these lawsuits, do they think there’s something amiss here? Republicans saying they just want this to go forward so they can declare a winner."
