The democrats will argue that it is a Florida statute that permits this mechanism of counting even after an initial re-count. It is the Bush camp that is claiming the statute is not constitional. And, at the first court appearance in front of the federal judge, nobody else is permitted to speak other than the party who filed the emergency motion.

Another interesting twist just announced on CNN, in 1997, Gov. Bush signed into law a statute into the Texas Election Code which includes language "that a manual count is preferable to an electronic count because it is more reliable than an electronic count."

I am sorry but this is hyprocracy at its best. Gov. Bush should have simply asked for a manual count in whatever counties or precinct he wanted. He should have followed Florida law as it was written by Floridians. I think it was a strategy mistake for him to go this route.
