Nice post. I've watched so much, I'd picked up the information from your post along the way, and you are right on, in the bulk. So to explain, Re: "yet the deadline in the first two statutes cited above makes this virtually impossible(completing handcounts by deadline) in larger counties." Volusia made it in time. Palm Beach is just over double Volusia in size, if I remember right. Palm Beach couldn't be mindful of the deadline and double the workforce of Volusia? I'm sorry, but fairness IS clearcut. Sure, the laws are a mess in covering this. That is why they'll be straightened out. You can bet, whether you see that it's clearcut or not, Gore won't get away with inventing County Grubbing in the minds of the people, even if he were to in court. And amazingly enough, saying she was speaking as a constitutional law professor, not a partisan, Susan Estrich, aka a rabid liberal talking head, made essentially the point I made in the last paragraph on Fox Saturday. She was seeing that Gore would have BIG credibility issues if he wins on county grubbing. That's right, VERY right. He had a great chance to be fair, and he, and everyone else, missed it. He had 72hrs to be fair- and THAT statement IS hardball. Truth wins out. Dan B
