I agree that the whole process is fascinating. It certainly has gotten a lot of people to look at the electoral vote as well.

The one item that I hope doesn't develop is the Florida legislature. I had been thinking that the perhaps the American people would come to realize that their vote counts. If the FL legislature comes into play in determining the electors, why should I vote?

Aside on terminology: Vacate, overturn and reverse; all of which generate a remand...Is the following sentence constructed correctly:

A higher Court may "overturn" a lower court's decision through a "vacated" or a "reversed" decision.

TIA,
jttmab
