Jim,

In his order upholding the 5 p.m. deadline, Lewis wrote, "I find that the county canvassing boards must certify and file what election returns they have by the statutory deadline of 5 p.m. of Nov. 14, 2000, with due notification to the secretary of state of any pending manual recounts, and thereafter file supplemental or corrective returns.

"The secretary of state may ignore such late-filed returns but may not do so arbitrarily, rather only by the proper exercise of discretion after consideration of all appropriate facts and circumstances."


Is a desire to be an ambassador in the Bush administration, considered an appropriate reason?

Jim,

Gore gained quite a few votes from the hand count in Volusia (sp?) county, the total lead is down to Bush +286 (sounds like a microprocessor).

If the hand counts are allowed by Florida Supreme court guidance to PB, and the Bush appeal to Atlanta fed court, then Gore will probably have the unofficial votes to win.

If the counties go to the Florida Secretary of State with a Gore majority hand count, I don't know if she can, politically, throw them out. Either way, there will be appeals.

I'm beginning to smell the US Supreme Court at the end of this challenging situation. And maybe that's a good thing, any resolution at this point is going to leave a whole lot of unsatisfied folks.
