Roebear, The certification this afternoon is the final step of the executive branch of the Florida Government. Their role is completed. But yes the US Supreme Court needs to step in, and is stepping in to settle this mess. Look at these facts: You have on a macro level, a hand recount of only 1.5 mm votes of the total 6.0 mm votes in the State... or 75% of the total votes in the State were not hand recounted. Then in the third or fourth (depends how you interpret them) recount- You have some counties that counted chads, some not. Some counties who hand recounted, fully recounted ballots- Volusia and Broward, some only partially Palm Beach, and one that started and stopped, Dade. You have military ballots excluded under state law interpetations by County Canvas Board Officials when federal law says no postmmark is necessary..Other counties counted all miitary ballots others just some. Now the Miami Herald reports that Palm Beach allowed thousand of felons to vote in Palm Beach County (In Palm Beach County murderers and child molesters can vote but not Congressional Medal of Honor winners- how weird). Boy this looks like a final examination question in Constitutional Law at a Stanford Law School exam- Bursting at the seams with issues such as artifically created classes of voters, subclasses, official action of numerous state government officials impacting voters and classes, federal/state conflicts, and state action altering voter rules after votes had been tallied. I bet that the law clerks at the US Supreme Court are licking their chops over this case.....
