I hear you Chris on your technicality. But get a court to listen. If your argument highlights one thing is that the Florida statutes enacted by the State legislature do not necessarily squarely apply to the instant case -- the presidential election whereby voters are in effect voting for electoral college representatives and not the president per se. Nevertheless, IMHO, practically every court, well maybe not the Florida SCt., would construe the contest provisions to apply to Al Gore and not the electoral representatives, thereby depriving him of such rights as the legislature intended to grant to all candidates vying for office in Florida controlled elections.

Yes, your argument would get you before a judge, but I seriously doubt that your argument would prevail under the light of level-headed jurisprudence, which surprising, is becoming a scarce commodity these days.
