H-man,

The question is, did the USC implicitly declare that Florida's entire voting procedure (& that of a lot of other states, as well) violated the equal protection clause?

I'm not sure, but I think we will see it argued in court. Whatever "in present circumstances" turns out to mean.

re: "even if ballots are counted differently, unless there is harm there is no foul" -- you can make a circumstantial case that if the entire state of Florida had used OpScan machines, the exact same voter intent would have resulted in a different result for the Presidential election. Doesn't that qualify as "harm"?
