Double Blow to Gore

Gore Dealt Double Defeat in Florida

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - The Florida Supreme Court and a state
court judge dealt Al Gore's lawyers a double defeat Friday in their
bid to begin recounting of thousands of ballots immediately.

In yet another ruling announced later in the day, the state
Supreme Court unanimously refused to order a new election in Palm
Beach County, rejecting a plea from voters who contested the design
of the county's ``butterfly ballot.''

``Courts have generally declined to void an election'' unless
defects in the ballot ``clearly operate to prevent a free, fair and
open choice,'' the court ruled in an opinion that court clerk Craig
Waters summarized from the courthouse steps.

Gore, who has filed an unprecedented legal challenge to George
W. Bush's certified victory in Florida, was not formally involved
in the butterfly ballot case, although an order for a new vote
would have thrown the contested election into turmoil.

The vice president's lawyers also came up empty on two other
rulings handed down Friday that spurned his bid to force an
immediate manual recount of thousands of contested ballots in
Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties.
