A couple of points here:

1- It is FL law that Ms Harris has the sole authority to certify the election 7 days after the vote. It is her sole responsibility and not that of anyone else in the state.

2- The FL supreme court made up of 7 hand picked democrats re wrote Fl law when they ordered Ms Harris not to certify 7 days after and they re wrote FL law when they allowed the recounts to continue by hand.

Based on FL law it would take a machine malfunction (already blown out of the water by Fl Supreme court) or a natural disaster (being stupid probably won't qualify) to do recounts but those recounts must be reported to Ms Harris no later than 7 days after the election.

3- Never has the U.S. supreme court over turned a state election.

4- It is FL state law that in the event Ms Harris uses her discretion and decides not to certify a vote that it will then be the responsibility of the FL State Legislature who will certify the winner of the election which Bush still leads by 500 votes.

5- The U.S. Supreme Court has decided to hear Bush's case to throw out the recounted votes. It takes 4 of the justices to make the decision to hear a case. This means that at least 4 of the U.S. supreme court justices think that Bush may have a winnable case.

6- The FL Legislature has decided to join Bush in his case.

7- Most counties which threw out overseas ballots have conceded and are now adding votes to the Bush total which
may or may not get certified by Ms Harris today.

8- Like panicky liberals do, Ms Harris won't stoop to name calling today when she announces her intention.

Developments in Other Florida Counties
Saturday, November 25, 2000


While all eyes were on Palm Beach and Broward counties, other Florida counties continued their recounts.

The following are developments in other Florida counties:

— Bay County: The canvassing board voted Friday to accept 12 previously rejected overseas ballots. That resulted in a net gain of two votes for Bush.

— Brevard County: Bush picked up a net of eight votes after canvassing board members voted Wednesday to accept 20 previously rejected overseas absentee ballots.

— Clay County: Canvassing board voted Friday to accept 14 of 17 previously rejected overseas ballots. Bush had a net gain of 12 votes.

— Collier County, Bush picked up a net of one vote on Saturday. The canvassing board reconsidered 43 overseas ballots that had been rejected previously and accepted 17 of them. Of those, Bush received eight votes, Gore had seven and Ralph Nader had two.

— Duval County: Canvassing board voted Friday to accept 68 of 81 previously rejected overseas ballots. Bush had a net gain of 20 votes.

— Miami-Dade: Counting suspended on Wednesday. Only votes not counted by the Secretary of State are six votes for Gore from earlier sample hand count of three precincts.

— Nassau County: Canvassing board voted 3-0 Friday to use the Nov. 7 vote totals instead of the results of a recount which inadvertently missed about 200 presidential ballots. The action resulted in a net gain for 52 votes for Bush, including one overseas absentee ballot that the board decided to use for the total.

— Okaloosa County, the county canvassing board on Wednesday awarded two previously rejected overseas ballots to Bush. Both involved bad postmarks. No votes for Gore.
