No, I think a statewide manual recount would have, and will, cost too much money, take too much time, and be subject to too many vicissitudes. The time between the general election in November and the vote of the Electoral college in December is just too short for modern day full-court-press litigation.

I don't have a solution, but I am fairly certain that it isn't to be found in the Florida laws as they stand now. This isn't the only way these things are decided. In some states, the legislature resolves a dispute involving a federal election, in others it is resolved by a board consisting of the governor, the attorney general, and the supervisor of elections. If Florida had such a scheme, Gore would have lost a while back.

So I think it is becoming more inevitable every day that the Florida Legislature will have to step in and clean up the mess.
