ron, Florida law also provides for a hand recount and if the GOP had not stalled the process it might have been completed by the intitial arbitrary deadline set by the partisan Sec of State. But, she makes it up as she goes and its quite clear that what she makes up is always, strangely, in the favor of GW Bush. If the Florida S.Ct. decides that she did act in an arbitrary fashion it will be a slap in the face to her and to Dubya. It will also open the door to extensive investigations into the independence whe actually exercised which could be the beginning of impeachment for both President Bush and his brother Jeb. Don't think it couldn't happen.

Don't expect the Florida Supreme Court to rule on the issues now before it anytime soon. I have a gut feeling that they are going to stall until all the hand recounts are completed. The one thing that will get them off the hook is if Gore takes the lead by at least 1,000 votes. If that happens they will declare the hand recount lawful and Gore wins. If Gore leads by less than 200 votes after the recount they will rule that Ms. Harris did not abuse her discretionary powers and the certified vote on Nov. 14 stands. Bush wins. What will happen between 200 votes and 1,000 votes I have no idea.
