The Florida Supreme Court (correctly, in my view) compels the Secretary of State to follow well established Florida law and certify all final county votes as reported in a week or so, including those ballots that were wrongly not counted by machines but revealed by a hand-check to have a manifest intent to vote for one or another presidential candidate. Gore wins the popular vote of Florida (as he doubtless has nation-wide). The Electoral College reports to Congress, as required, on January 6.
First part
But one partisan Bush supporter in the House and another in the Senate file "written objections" to the Electoral College report, relying on preliminary county reports in Florida rather than the final, certified counts.
Second part.
If the first part of the above scenario takes place, then... I doubt very much that a rogue partisan(s) would go against the wishes of the Bush people themselves, (by which time they would have conceded to Gore).
If, on the other hand, what you say does take place,(Personally I highly doubt it).
Then run for cover boys and girls, the market game while not over, it will change tune and it will very difficult to play it --not impossible, but much harder. (Just see how it has been behaving since this charade started).
Perhaps this is all a planned conspiracy by the French! in collusion with other European bureaucrats, so as to make the Euro a "manhandled" success -g-
Better, perhaps the NASDAQ officials, in their zeal to pulp the NYSE, have secretly sided with the European exchanges in order to truly take over DIE WELT !! and redirect investors funds away from Wall Street, and create a brave new WORLD MARKET...
[Hmmm perhaps I should work on this theory and approach Alan Geenspan, offering the title of World President-at-large-and-for-life] |
