I agree. It would be a startling development though. And it might infuriate the Democratic Judges. But I think it would be fully within her rights to do so. The court doesn't have the right to prevent an elected official from performing her duties before it happens, unless they rule on the legality of it. Do they?

The GOP has too big a dufus faction. For goodness sakes, take a page from labor and have a sick-out among republicans participating in the recount. In fact, all these people ought to just strap on some 'nads and walk out.

Harris ought to provisionally certify results and send them over to the gov. for signature. She could find herself in contempt of court. She has nothing to certify until the court passes on the question of whether hand counted ballots with partial punches are "legal ballots". If the court rules they are legal ballots, they move onto the question of whether the secretary is arbitrary in not considering them. Provisional certification would accomplish nothing towards the selection of electors because the court must first release the restraining order.

As a non-european US citizen, I want you all to know I voted for Bush. I think American white male is the most forgiving and most passive of all minorities. As a minority I make more money than most white males in this country and I know how how the people of my former nationality would have been intolerant of the foreigners in their homeland. When gore is in office, and racism and division is once again forced set among us, when you look around the room and see a non-european person, that could be me who voted for Bush but the media spin presented me as a democrat. People jump on boats and die to get to this country to enjoy capitalism and not for free prescriptions, if they did they would have gone for Canada, Hanoi or Korea. When Black folks threaten to riot when things don't go their way they should go and live another country to see what rights and privilages they are given as blacks. When women cry fowl when their abortion rights are seemingly threatened, they should look at other countries and see how their own advocacy of abortion in this country has turned to a forced practice in other countries. When androgenous women with dubious background become the voice of the American woman it marginalizes the appeal of the opressed women around the world to the redicule of lesbianism. And finally when American government falls into the hand of a few who strangled the ballets until they talk their way, leaders like Castro feel their system is so fair that they offer sending observers oversee our election.
