"No, you are amazingly stupid, and also in denial. You just can't face the facts. That jeb and harris stopped the legal recounts before they were finished" I am quite sorry, but you are completely wrong. Harris didn't "stop" anything, she did her job and abided by the law. 1.) The 7 day deadline, set in FL law by the FL State Legislature, was enforced by Harris. Harris has discretion to extend the deadline, as given by the state elections board, in cases of natural disaster, machine malfunction, or vote fraud. None of these conditions existed, so the deadline was legally enforced. 2.) The Florida Supreme Court, in ruling in favor of recounts, set a firm deadline. Some of the recounts were not in to Harris' office by 5pm, and so were rejected. Harris did not have discretion to extend that deadline. For what it matters, as decided by the US Supreme Court, the Florida Supreme Court did not have the authority to declare those recounts and deadline to begin with. Nor does the Florida Supreme Court have the authority to declare recounts yet again. They have made a very grave error. I fail to see where Ms. Harris has engaged in any inappropriate behavior. Where Jeb Bush comes into this picture, is beyond me. You do not change election law in the midst of an election. And you definately do not change election law to suit your personal ambitions, as it certainly appears Albert Gore has been attempting for the past month. I fear that this election is going to be decided in the Florida State Legislature with the choosing of electors. I certainly hope that this does not need to be resolved in the US House of Representatives. It has already gone beyond sanity. Derek
