Gore Challenges Miami-Dade Move to Halt Recount

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The campaign of Democrat Al Gore said on Wednesday that it would immediately seek to overturn the Miami-Dade County decision not to resume a recount of presidential ballots, a move which could jeopardize Gore's hopes for the White House.

``We were disappointed by the decision of the Miami-Dade Board of Canvassers, who had previously found there was an error in vote count that did require a manual recount. Under Florida law, once the finding is made, the recount is mandatory,'' campaign manager William Daley told reporters outside the vice president's residence in Washington.

``We will immediately be seeking an order directing the Dade County Board of Canvassers to resume the manual recount,'' he said.

Gore's hopes of catching up with Republican George W. Bush's narrow lead in Florida, the key to winning the White House, received a huge boost on Tuesday when the state's supreme court ruled that hand-counted ballots could be included if they were received by Sunday.

But then on Wednesday, election officials in Miami-Dade County, the state's largest, completely called off a recount of presidential ballots, delivering a huge blow to the Gore campaign.
