No matter what comes out of the newspaper count, the bottom line is that the USSC stopped the counting and awarded the Presidency to the popular vote loser.

The election is forever tarnished, and Bush will never be accepted by much of the population.


FLA law had a deadline for the vote count. The constitution gives power in these cases solely to the state legislature. If it made a deadline by law then that deadline should have held. I do disagree with the reasoning of the majority opinion by the USSC but not with its result.

If "when the votes are counted" Gore still loses then the election is still tainted?? What does the popular vote have to do with anything in this situation under the constitution?
