TLC,

Read the message again; you're not speaking to the point in question, which is, did the fact that Gore asked for a selective recount cause all the legal problems? or by implication, if Gore had called for a statewide recount before the 72 hour deadline, would there have been no legal problems?

I say there would still have been legal problems. The equal protection clause argument was not based just on the recount being selective (indeed, after the FSC decision it wasn't selective anymore), but on its being subjective, with no uniform standard. They would have still argued this case before the USSC, regardless of what recount Gore asked for.
