Do you understand that this situation is explosive?
Yes, but I also understand that it is only a few hundred paid rioters in waiting, plus a lot of outraged people with instant e-mail. The government cannot function by backing down to every threat. You're warning is just part of the extortion scheme, "Side with us or there will be unspecified trouble". Once you start complying with extortion it just gets worse.

a majority might not see that as stealing.
You may be correct. The more visible that all the procedings, tactics, and actions are the more likely they will be analysed and acted upon by the voters. I trust the American people, they won't put up with election stealing.

I think that the Florida legislature is threatening to step in precisely to prevent Florida from losing out on the electoral college. In theory, Gore could win if everything went his way during this contest, providing Bush with the opportunity to contest and ask for Republican "chad" counties to go for hyperaccuracy. Gore seems to think that if 4 democratic counties are scrutinized sufficiently to put him ahead, that finality would have been achieved.
