I agree with your comments on electorial malpractice. The problem I see with the 2000 election was the FACT that the Democratic party DID NOT want a recount of the entire state- They specifically fought against a recount, or even a count of absentee ballots, in those areas that they thought they would lose votes to Bush in.
The number of disputed votes nationwide in 2000 was greater than the margin of the popular vote that the Dems claim to have gotten. Since those votes had no effect on the outcome BY STATE, they were never questioned or looked at.
IMO, ALL the votes need to be verified, even where a clear winner has been determined.
