OTOT: Art - What I wonder about is the impact of the following decision by the SC. That the "contest period" as laid out in the Florida statutes violates Federal statutes and is invalid in the case of election for President. Why? Because the legislature in the Contest law lets the courts decide on the method of counting, extending deadlines, etc (i.e., the "rules"). However, as I understand what I have heard, Federal law explicitly says that the "rules" cannot be changed after 6 days before the election, until the current election cycle has ended. So in effect there would be no contest period allowed for Presidential elections. Or, as the Chief Justice of the Fla SC indicated in his first question to Boies, the Fla Supremes have no say in a preseidential election past the deadline date. Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer.
