Can anyone explain to me what the heck I'm missing here? On the night of the election, a machine count gave Bush the victory. Due to the closeness of the votes a second machine count took place and Bush won again. Gore's team requested a manual recount in three heavily Democrat counties. Bush won again. Following Gore's appeal to the Florida Supreme Court, the FSC extended the certification period by an additional 12 days and ordered the final tallies be submitted for certification at 5:00PM Sunday November 26th. Two of the three counties resubmitted their manual recounts, while the third county did not meet the deadline as stipulated by the FSC. Even in consideration of the third county, Bush won again. The Secretary of State, Ms. Harris, certified the election on the evening of November 26th as ordered by the Florida Supreme Court. December 1st, Gore and his Democrat supporters are still asking for another recount. What am I missing in all of this? Am I to believe that in Florida a lower court Judge has more power than the FSC? Am I also to believe that if the ballots are manipulated enough times somehow the math will change and Gore will finally win? An enquiring mind wants to know! Vince
