It appears that the Bush folks may have pulled a fantastic coup on this. They didn't ask for a manual recount in other counties since they did their
homework and knew of the Florida statutes which mandate the counties to have their votes submitted by 5:00PM Tuesday (tomorrow). Either Palm
Beach submits their count by then, or the votes from Palm Beach simply won't be counted toward the state vote.

Also, by filing the request for an injunction (which the Fed court denied), it would appear that they have removed the Federal Courts as an option for
the Gore folks to use to override the Florida statute.

Brilliant, eh?
