"How can you have one method of counting..." Take a look at the following article: cnn.com ........................................................... Florida's top election official warned the state's counties and the presidential candidates Saturday against prolonging the recount, saying the system is about to "melt down." Bob Crawford, who replaced Gov. Jeb Bush as commissioner of Florida's Canvassing Commission, said Saturday that if a county misses the state's deadline for certifying results, the entire county's vote will be thrown out. "The statute is very clear that if a county's results are not to us by 5 p.m. Tuesday we shall ignore that county's vote, and the counties need to be very aware of that," Crawford told reporters. "Candidates asking for recounts need to be aware of that." Crawford also stressed that he believed the system is being pressed to its limits. .......................................................... I guess the whole thing is going to hinge on a Bill Clinton style definition of the word "recount." By law each county is required to submit an official recount. The numbers we have been given so far are all unofficial numbers gathered by the press. Once the numbers are handed in on Tuesday, it will be up to anyone who objects (i.e. the Republicans) to take court-action to try to invalidate it. Perhaps all the talk of letting Palm Beach residents vote again, and the demonstrations were all just a smoke-screen to keep the Republicans off guard while the "Daley Bunch" pursued this strategy. No wonder Al Gore is distancing himself from the operation. Very depressing. Stealing the White House in broad daylight.
