JDN,

You are describing Katherine Harris' interpretation of Florida election law. If you look more closely at the wording of the statutes, you will notice that the county canvassing boards do have discretion to choose a manual recount, and the supervisor of elections does have discretion to accept the results.

I do believe that if Gore had been 300 votes ahead after the automatic recount, Katherine Harris would have interpreted the law rather differently.

As for the delays, who made the delays in the first place? If Gore had been ahead originally, the whole recount would have been done in three weeks.
