Hi Carl - at this point, it looks like we would have a higher probability of having a President Bush than a President Gore. Regardless of their party affiliation, my guess is that judges would simply leave things the way they are. Maybe you are right about the FL stature of limitation <VBG>. I really don't know enough to comment on the legality of the stature and if there is any contradictory stature to cause an overrule. As it stands right now, whether the manual count is legitimate or not is fairly irrelevant best, Bosco

<ot>Well, Carl, this is very confusing, you stated, As I stated previously, the Florida Statute is actually fairly clear, and states that counts "shall" be certified by 7 days, implying a mandatory deadline... And that was my impression too, but from CNN, as part of the following article, cnn.com it stated Despite the focus on midnight as the deadline for overseas absentee ballots to be received, Florida law actually gives counties another week, until November 24, to submit their tallies. Nevertheless, the Florida secretary of state's office has been pressuring counties to respond sooner, not later. If any county chooses to stick to the legal deadline, the nation will have to wait before the state can issue a final vote certification. So, which one is the real law? Your clarification is most appreciated Also, since you are using the "rules of law" argument, what do you think of the following lawsuit [found in the same URL] A Democratic Party activist filed suit in Seminole County Friday seeking to invalidate at least 4,700 of the 15,000 absentee ballots cast before the election. The suit contends that the county elections supervisor allowed Republican activists to write registration numbers on the contested absentee ballot requests -- nearly all of them from registered Republicans -- when the requests were mailed in without numbers. The voters were supposed to have written their registration numbers on the ballots themselves, the suit said. Seminole County voted 75,667 to 59,174 for Bush. Surely never a dull moment :) best, Bosco
