Cool Post.

I will have to go to the CNN site to read up on the applicable laws.

In general, the states should be given all the powers unless the constitutionally protected rights of an individual are affected.

In this case, if I remember correctly, Bush filed a complaint in the US SC pleading the 14th amendment of equal rights under the law (from what I remember. I may be getting confused listening to so much stuff) which is a constutuional guarantee.

I am not sure about the power and authority fo SOS and whether that can be challenged in the courts. Perhaps you can expand on this aspect. My understanding is that anyone and anything can be challenged in the courts. Of course the suits can be dismissed if the courts determine that they do not have the authority to hear such a case.

I believe the judge in Palm county did just that by saying that he did not have teh auhtority to call for a revote because of the butterfly vote problems.

Thanks for an unbiased and educational post.
