CG, this is a very serious matter. Half the people in the US will not accept a rigged and stolen election. There will be resentment that will reach yet unknown levels. It is so wrong to manipulate and/or steal an election. Gore has shown that he and his supporters will go to any length to manipulate or steal the result of this election. This will be a very difficult wound to heal. I don't think Gore can effectively govern. His administration will be tainted and will not have the support of at least half the people.

No, If the Fla. court allows Gore to succeed in his quest to include his chosen territories alone, and he "wins" on that basis, and Federal courts won't overturn, and Gore still calls that "fair" and refuses to concede, Secretary Harris would certify as it stands now for Bush, guaranteed. Presuming Gore refused to concede and sends his electors to vote along with Bush's electors, even the Supreme Court cannot prevent Congress from being the final arbiter as to who gets to vote, if then necessary. Where there is disagreement over which candidate's electors go to vote, Congress decides.
