>Voters in other counties are not being afforded equal protection under the law.<

This is not a good argument to make. The problem with this argument is that the Florida statute, on its face, does allow for all counties to be counted manually if requested by the voting commission or an individual and thus, on its face, it does not violate anybody's equal protection under the constitution.

Now, the argument about no standards or subjective standards is a much better argument to make and I believe this is what the Bush camp hangs their hat on. The problem is that the voting commission does have a piece of paper which comes out of the voting commission guidelines and procedures manual that sets out a standard. It is a standard and it does have subjectivity to it. But, it is a standard.

In any event, I am very tired of the back and forths of yesterday so I won't tie up this thread. i am going to enjoy the football games. but, i saw your post and just wanted to repsond. we'll all see what a federal judge does tomorrow. But, my guess is that the federal judge either denies the motin on its face for lack of subject matter jurisdiction or it denies the temporary injunction based upon the constitutionality of the state statute in question and the right of states to draft laws, rules and regulatios regarding elections within its own borders even if that election has federal ramifications (such as the presidency, senate and house elections).
