I am skeptical that anyone will prove that they were told by an election official to submit a ballot with two votes for President. But I don't doubt many will allege it, every one of them Democrats.

>>The depositions should be intereisting<<

Now that litigation is a certainty, do you think it will be concluded in time for the Electoral College to certify their votes by the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December, as required by Title 3 USC sec. 7? If depositions are needed, how can the litigation be concluded in time?

I take comfort in the 20th Amendment, which provides that, in the event that the President shall not qualify at the time fixed for the commencement of his term, Congress shall declare who will act as President. The terms of the new congress commence on the 3rd of January, the terms of Clinton and Gore end on the 20th of January. So no matter what, Clinton and Gore are outta there.

Unless, of course, Gore wins in Florida. This is all predicated on Bush winning and Gore challenging via litigation.
