I just love this, I really do. The American public gets to see how these guys operate when they are operating in daylight. It's wonderful.

Never ending story...........Latest developments: Broward County canvassing board members were to meet at 8 a.m. Saturday to try to hand recount about 600 remaining ballots still under dispute. Palm Beach County canvassing board members were set to resume their hand recount at 8 a.m., as they attempt to identify voter intent among some 6,000 disputed ballots. In Leon County Circuit Court in Tallahassee on Friday, Judge Ralph Smith said he would review arguments by both sides on whether to allow overseas absentee ballots to be added to the final state tally. Many of the ballots are from military voters thought to be Bush supporters. Many of the ballots were disqualified because of technicalities. Congressional Democrats on Friday sent a letter to the U.S. Justice Department asking that it look into Republican demonstrations at canvassing boards which they say are intended to intimidate and disrupt recount efforts. (More on the protests and reaction to them) Gore attorneys say they plan to contest the certified Miami-Dade County vote count in court because the county refused to hold a hand recount. The Florida Supreme Court rejected Gore's effort to force the predominantly Democratic county to recount its votes by hand. Republican sources tell CNN the Florida Legislature was not expected to meet this weekend in an emergency session. The possibility exists under federal law that the Republican-controlled body could appoint members of the Electoral College who would support Bush, even if Gore surpasses Bush in the total state tally. (More on the electors) This Monday, a hearing is scheduled in a Seminole County, Florida, court to determine whether some 4,700 absentee ballots in the predominantly Republican county should be declared invalid. The suit, brought by a Democratic activist, accuses the county elections supervisor of illegally allowing Republican activists to write required registration numbers on about 4,700 absentee ballots. Voters themselves had failed to write the numbers on the ballots.
