I'm not sure what would happen with no certified Florida vote, but I presume that the electoral college couldn't meet, and therefore at the expiration of the term, Clinton would be replaced by the speaker of the house. Someone else suggested that the house would be required to appoint someone, but I really don't know what would happen. I hope I don't have to learn. Carl

Mark, my wife and I talked for a bit. Both of us are attorneys, though neither a specialist in constitutional law. We think that with the Florida vote enjoined, the rest of the electoral college would meet, and they could vote. When no one received 270 votes, the issue would move to congress. As I recall, each state delegation gets one vote, so Nevada and California each have the same vote, but I sure don't remember for sure. Not a pretty way of determining a President. Carl
