John, I wish it were that simple, but it isn't. First, if the FSC had not stepped into it, the USSC would have stayed out. The USSC upholds the right of the state to choose their electors. It will not allow the FSC to choose the electors by changing the law. That is their job. That is what they do. That is why they are there. The issue is not whether or not to count votes. The issue is whether or not to count them uniformly using the same standard for all voters. Read my previous post to drew. Disregarding "equal protection" will not be tolerated. The problem is that Florida can't handle their own election because they just didn't do a good job (never has) in the writing of their election laws. Let's face it: The margin of error in this election is far greater than the margin of victory, no matter who wins the election. Florida is not able to handle this situation and the action of the FSC is half-assed and flawed at best. Therefore the Supreme Court of the US must step in. In other words if Florida can't handle it, the Federal government will. Either do it right or don't do it at all. That is why the counting was halted. Suggest you also read Justice Well's Opinion. He says it much better than I can. Regardless of the outcome, you floridians have four years to get your stuff together and get some up to date equipment. Don't delay. This is embarrassing to the rest of the country. Steve 667
