Re: "You may be correct that she made the right decision, or you may not be. Ultimately the Florida Supreme Court will decide that."

She had no business accepting hand-counts after deadline from counties hand picked by one candidate. That would put her in great legal risk.

Truth is, to accept hand-counts when the race is close may make sense. Of course, if the standard is a voter must completely follow instructions, Gore gains nothing and hand-counting these odd Chad ballots becomes moot. If a court, even this one, after hearing all the evidence, says it recovers votes fairly if done conservatively(no pregnancies, IMO), then so long as these silly machines are used, it'll be so. But Al Gore will never get his selected counties in alone and have anyone believe that's equitable.

I'm betting it'll never fly in some court. Wanna bet?
