From the dissent of the FLA ruling: Clearly, in a Presidential election, the Legislature has not authorized the courts of Florida to order partial recounts, either in a limited number of counties or statewide. This Court's order to do so appears to me to be in conflict with the US Supreme Court decision. From the dissent on page 57: I must regrettably conclude that the majority ignores the magnitude of its decision. The Court fails to make provision for: (1)the qualifications of those who count; (2)what standards are used in the count- are they the same standards for all ballots statewide or a continuation of the county-by-county constitutionally suspect standards;(3)who is to observe the count;(4)how one objects to the count;(5)who is entitled to object to the count;(6)whether a person may object to a counter;(7)the possible lack of personnel to conduct the count;(8)the fatigue of the counters; and (9)the effect of the differing intra-county standards. foxnews.com
