More from the court ruling: We conclude that, consistent with the Florida election scheme, the Secretary may reject a Board’s amended returns only if the returns are submitted so late that their inclusion will preclude a candidate from contesting the certification or preclude Florida’s voters from participating fully in the federal electoral process. The Secretary in the present case has made no claim that either of these conditions apply at this point in time. Thus even Florida voters now may bring this up as a Constitutional argument.

This the statute Mrs. Harris had cited in her 11/13/00 'decision' - and insisted she had no discretion. And the District Court did rule, as we all know, that, yes, she did have discretion. Section 102.112, Florida Statutes leg.state.fl.us 102.112 Deadline for submission of county returns to the Department of State; penalties.-- (1) The county canvassing board or a majority thereof shall file the county returns for the election of a federal or state officer with the Department of State immediately after certification of the election results. Returns must be filed by 5 p.m. on the 7th day following the first primary and general election and by 3 p.m. on the 3rd day following the second primary. If the returns are not received by the department by the time specified, such returns may be ignored and the results on file at that time may be certified by the department.
