Jim, I respectfully disagree. If Gore is behind Sunday night, I don't believe public opinion will allow him to go further. Certainly there is an element of hope in this, but that is what I believe. If he is ahead, he won't go further. Seems to me that Bush has many times more lawsuits going than Gore. You've always seemed like a logical sort -- can we not at least agree on this point?
Regarding the Realtor masquarading as Sec of State, here is the text from the SC decision. There is no need to comment upon it.
Accordingly, in order to allow maximum time for contests pursuant to section 102.168, amended certifications must be filed with the Elections Canvassing Commission by 5 p.m. on Sunday, November 26, 2000 and the Secretary of State and the Elections Canvassing Commission shall accept any such amended certifications received by 5 p.m. on Sunday, November 26, 2000, provided that the office of the Secretary of State, Division of Elections is open in order to allow receipt thereof. If the office is not open for this special purpose on Sunday, November 26, 2000, then any amended certifications shall be accepted until 9 a.m. on Monday, November 27, 2000. The stay order entered on November 17, 2000, by this Court shall remain in effect until the expiration of the time for accepting amended certifications set forth in this opinion. The certificates made and signed by the Elections Canvassing Commission pursuant to section 102.121 shall include the amended returns accepted through the dates set forth in this opinion.
It is so ordered. No motion for rehearing will be allowed.
