I don't this so. I think deep inside they know this can only be resolved at this level by ordering a statewide handcount - otherwise there are plenty of constitutional issues which would go to the US supreme court. I think they want to resolve this within the legal framework of the Florida statutes and prevent this. Can they - I don't know enough about the laws?

not impressed with the Florida Supreme Court. I only saw the edited version on the Leher News Hour. Your wife isn't chained close enough to the stove I guess. Those judges were sharp and inquisitive. They asked Devil's Advocate questions to each side to ascertain the underlying asumptions. That was probably too subtle for your wife. They seemed most interested in how the Florida Laws matched with federal regulations and how much power they would have to assume to rule in various ways. If you want to see political hacks you should listen to the Texas Supreme Court where all the judges are elected and have to choose which lawyer will pay for their next campaign. TP
