"Remember, high courts don't deal in FACTS; they deal in LAW."

Appellate courts deal in facts and the law. They generally do not dispute the facts that have been ruled on in a lower court. Here the facts are not in dispute: No one disputes that the vote is so close that even a slight error can change the outcome. One legal point that can be challenged is whether, given the closeness of the vote, the discretion exercised by the Secretary of State was prejudicial. That is a question which, if not answered by the appellate court, will linger in the mind of many citizens throughout the country, and will render Bush (if he wins because of this) a weak president condemned to one term of virtually no accomplishments whatsoever.
