The first Palm Beach County case to reach a judge got off to a jarring start as Boca Raton voter Milton Miller voluntarily dismissed his lawsuit hours after it was filed at federal court in West Palm Beach on Thursday. A shouting spectator was escorted out of the courtroom. Attorney Lawrence Navarro dropped Miller's case at a brief hearing, saying afterward that he had received calls from people he refused to identify asking his client to dismiss the lawsuit seeking a new election. ``Al Gore is going to step up and fight this battle,'' Navarro said without elaboration. The federal suit in Tallahassee was filed on behalf of a black Tampa man who said he was turned away from the polls for lacking a driver's license. Judges will be guided by a 1997 state Supreme Court decision in a Volusia County election in which county elections workers were found to have broken state law 14 times and committed gross negligence in handling absentee ballots, but did not result in a new election.

Why would Bush block a re-vote? Doesn't he want to be President honestly? Does he fear what the people in this county will vote against him? Will this give him the moral authority he claims is his? And how will the US be able to speak for Democratic values through out the world with Bush rising to power with anything less than a completely above board election? My suspicion is that if Bush prevails he will be a lame duck before he is even sworn in. And Jeb can probably start shopping for a new state to be Governor of.
