Not what happened.  The US Supreme Court, which contained 0 George W. Bush appointees, ultimately made them stop because the state had no uniform recount procedures and apparently couldn't assure the USSC that they had any ability to recount them properly.

Funny how Democrats say elections are "secure" when they win but are "stolen" when Republicans win.  Been true in every election since 2000 -- except 2004.  OTOH, I only remember Republicans complaining once during that time.
