I heard the supreme court hearings in full today.

My impression is that the justices were looking for a way to have the ballots counted (if they do not deny the elctoral votes of florida due to Federla timing.

Based on my observation, I firmly believe that they will permit the ballots to be counted by hand since there is enough time for them to do so and be certified long before the December 12 drop dead date.

I dont think that the legislature or the Governor can make any changes to the law to be effective retractively. So the supreme court will be the final arbiter of whether hand counting will be permitted or not. Remember this law was not passed by the current legislature. So they cant decide what the previous legislature meant by the words they put into law. Only the courts have that jurisdiction to go back to the text behind the law to see if they can figure out the INTENT of the law which is not clear and is hence the subject of present action.
