Important wording here: "The court, composed of seven judges all appointed by Democratic governors, rejected the move by Secretary of State Katherine Harris without prejudice."

OK. If they don't block the recounts it still doesn't mean that the SOS has to accept them. The decision is within her sound discretion although the decision can not be arbitrary. I can think of several reasons to reject the "manual reinterpretation" of the vote the dems favor. Courts are reluctant to interfere with a Constitutional Officer's discretion absent an egregious misuse of that discretion. I doubt that will happen here unless Ms. Harris is as dumb as a PBC voter.
