It is clear that I didn't even attempt to interpret the constitution and your claim that I did exposes your blind partisanship and lack of any understanding of the Constitution.

The federal issue at question is whether the State Supreme Court interpreted it's own state laws correctly. The right to choose electors is planted firmly in the domain of each state and the 10th amendment of the U.S. Constitution confirms this. It says:

Article X.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Since the U.S. Constitution does not specify how votes are to be counted, this is a duty of each state and Florida put that that duty firmly into the hands of the canvassing boards. I'm not claiming that they are doing it perfectly in every case, but that is a matter to be determined after they have counted the ballots in the usual manner and in an election this close, the usual manner is to count them by hand. The courts are still there after the count has been completed for the purpose of contesting the validity of the count.

This case is unprecedented in that one candidate is claiming that any vote the machine failed to read is to be buried until after the contest, at which point the Freedom of Information Act will allow researchers to count those ballots and determine if we have a bastard President or if we "lucked out" and elected the actual winner.

Please try to put rational thought ahead of your partisan logic.
