perhaps, but a bigger problem looms.

the recounts will have a total.
whether or not they count,
the statistical probability is that gore
will win by a substantial margin.

then the legal actions of the GOP
will appear very different to the public at that time.
it could really energize the public
in future elections against the GOP.

<<the court is unwilling to create law>> good, since the law allows the recounts in the first place it will be hard (if not impossible) for them to ignore the results
