I think thats what a judge will impose. Good judges do not pick sides but make decisions that are supposed to be fair for all parties.

I don't think so. Good judges don't make decisions that are fair to all parties. They simply determine what the laws say. The law specifies under what circumstances a revote must be held, and that is what the Judge can tell you. I am willing to put money on my assertion that there doesn't exist any law which says "under xyz circumstance, a revote of only those people that voted must be held", so your proposed outcome is totally unlikely. My assertion is based on the fact that there is no guarantee that those that voted will vote the same way. This is an especially relevant fact - I know of several people that wanted to vote for Nader, but decided to vote for Gore instead, purely based on their environmental policies. How will you guarantee that those Florida people won't do the same?

Another aspect of this whole situation is that whatever is screwed up in Florida is screwed up pretty much across the country. How do you know that a similar screwup didn't happen in Illinois' Cook county, except that the screwup is hurting Bush there?

As far as I can tell, unless there is evidence of fraud, the law says that, imperfection and all, the vote stands. That's the law. As people on this thread are acutely aware, the law seldom has any relevance to fairness on a case by case basis.
