DIRECTIVE: CLINTON WHITE HOUSE ORDERS 'NO TRANSITION' The General Services Accounting office declared on Sunday night that it will not release $5.3 million to George W. Bush in order for him to commence a presidential transition team. GSA spokeswoman Beth Newburger addressed the press Sunday: "As long as there is not an apparent winner, and the outcome is unclear, there's not much we can do." But the order to not allocate the cash to the Bush team did not come from GSA Administrator David J. Barram, a Clinton appointee. It came from White House chief of Staff John Podesta -- on the day before Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris was to certify Florida's recounted returns! According to the WASHINGTON TIMES, Podesta issued the directive ordering the GSA and other federal agencies not to proceed with any transition activities "until the time when the election is decided." "Because of the uncertainty over election results, no president-elect has been identified to receive federal funds and assistance under the Presidential Transition Act of 1963," Podesta wrote. "Until a president-elect is clearly identified, therefore, no transition assistance as contemplated under the Transition Act is available." drudgereport.com

I heard only Broward was in the new certified results. But of course I will check out what you say. "Earlier, Harris rejected a request for an extension by Palm Beach County, where the canvassing board said it had less than 1,000 ballots left in a manual recount. The outcomes in Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and Nassau counties are expected to form the core of Gore's contest. " So as I understand what you are saying- 2 of 5 were included? So Gore requested recounts in 5 counties? Miami -Dade stopped their recount. Palm Beach couldn't finish and Harris threw out their partial count as well as disallowed and extension- and WHAT happened in Nassau county? Damn that state is screwed up.
