According to the Presidential Transition Act of 1963, the GSA has the authority to
"ascertain the apparent winner" of an election before allocating office space and
funding.

The wording was designed to allow transitions to go forward even before the
Electoral College meets to officially name the president-elect.

But GSA administrator Dave Barram said he won't make a move to free up the
90,000 square feet of office space and the $5.3 million allocated by Congress for
the president-elect until the fight is out of the courts and one candidate concedes.

"If this were a Republican in the White House, not Bill Clinton, I can assure you
that the transition office keys would be turned over today," said Paul Light of the
non-partisan Brookings Institution.
