jt--The legislature passed two laws...one with the 7 day deadline, one permitting a manual recount. The court placed the vote of the people first and foremost. They then looked at the impact of overturning each of the laws in this decision. IF you overturn the 7day deadline and change it to say Dec 11 or in this case, NOv 26, do you impact on the meeting of electors on Dec 12? Call me crazy, but I(and the 7-0 Court agreed) don't think you adversely impact anything. IF you overturn the manual recount law, what happens? People's votes don't get counted. This was not some Solomonic decision...this was an easy call. In fact, if it had been a conflict of laws WITHOUT political partisanship involved, it would have been accepted by an overwhelming majority of the public. TG
