Hi Chris:

Sorry for the long hiatus. But in response to your post of December 1, I didn't recall coming across that argument. Nevertheless, you appear to challenge that Sec 102.168 which provides in pertinent part:

"(1) Except as provided in s. 102.171, the certification of election or nomination of any person to office, or of the result on any question submitted by referendum, may be contested in the circuit court by any unsuccessful candidate for such office or nomination thereto or by any elector qualified to vote in the election related to such candidacy, or by any taxpayer, respectively"

. . . .somehow limits Gore's challenge under the contest provisions of the Florida statute because ELECTORS not Al Gore are being elected. While this is an argument to make, it is a false one as Al Gore as a candidate in the popular election is merely a proxy for Democratic electors slated to vote on his behalf.

To deny Gore rights granted under Florida's contest provisions would be to turn the statute on its head. Who's the candidate here? Gore or the electors? Well, Gore was the "unsuccessful candidate" in the election whose results are being contested.

Anyway, at this juncture, this point in moot.
