There may not have been time to do so before the argument.
Ultimately the press did it anyway.

I am more concerned with th way Boies used the affidavit with the boards, frankly. He muscled them with it to insist on counting the simpled chads.

OMD is right about appellate courts. They are usually confined to the record before it. And usually opponents
come up with the contrary evidence/law. Everything was
so expedited here that it's tough.

Courts want to accept the representations of lawyers,
who are officers of the court. The FSC really wanted
to go with Gore here, so their uncritical acceptance
of the affidavit is not particularly surprising.
