OT Cary, I say this with the utmost respect so as not to start a "flameing" match, but you are naive to believe that all they have to do is a quick count of the votes where no presidential candidate was chosen. The REAL CORE issue is "What is a vote?" Dimpled and pimpled chads were never counted BEFORE in Florida (at least not since 1990). THAT is the real issue. Dems believe they were an honest attempt to vote (mostly for Gore) and Republicans believe that we cannot tell WHAT they are and should be discarded like since 1990.

The US Supreme Court has a chance here to end this once and for all, NOW. If they punt, however, we will be in a REAL constitutional crisis as the Florida legislature picks ONE set of electors while the Florida Supreme Court orders the certification of another.
