I agree with you that the decision to try to cherry-pick the counties was too slick to pass muster. Only a lawyer would think that was a good solution. And fighting for dimpled chads was a grotesque error in judgment. The central thesis of the per curiam opinion was 1) there were no standards; 2) there was no reason to count only the undercounts. Just as we've been saying all along.

I also find it deliciously ironic that the real fight against finishing the partial manual recount of just the undercounts in Miami-Dade came from the Cuban-Americans, who are outraged by the Elian mess.
