I guess finality is a legal term used when one does not want to live up to the exact date of a contract.
IMO there is so much crossing and double crossing
going on we will never know which Party is stopping the counts. But it will be the forever told story of the Democrats ( since they cannot win anyway) that the Republicans stopped the counts.
Yesterday for example, you may find ( from publicly released figures against the Judges orders) that the Bush team was gaining more votes than Gore.!
Previous counts were stopped when the highly Democratic precincts had been counted and it was time to count the highly Republican precincts. Very Interesting.Hmmmmmmmmmm
IF yesterdays count had continued, and Bush won, the Democrats would have looked liked fools, lost all credibiliy,proven themselves to be sore losers.
Whereas:
With the count now stopped, Democrats can
continue for 4 years to blame their loss on Republican interference, on defective Florida laws, on unfair counting rules,(no dimples),on the Electoral College, on their own
Democratic Canvassing boards who refused to count , ( lets sue somebody here)G, on the Votomatic machines, on Florida Courts that prevented them from disqualifying 14,000 absentee ballots, on the Secretary of State, on the sad
Constitutional law that permits the the Florida Legislature to name a set Electors from the the majority party instead of from the (sob) minority.
Looking forward to an interesting day, to see which
news organizations will have the guts to publish the preliminary counts from yesterday after the Judge said
not to release them, and which ones will show Gore gaining- and which ones will show Bush gaining.
