Hi Carl - probably this is the end of the road. However, I can see none of the 9 USSC justices will go fishing anytime soon :). I think the next SC appointment [by the likely Bush Administration] will be serious showdown!

best, Bosco

Carl, how can we bring in the argument of "equal protection" when the voting machinery in place does not provide such protection? Not only is the performance of the various punching machines different, but there are select "lucky" Floridians that use optical scanners. The statistic is quite clear, optical scanners, only .3% registering no vote for the top of the ticket, punching machines, 1.5%. That is unequal protection and the whole Florida Vote should be thrown out according to the US-SC.

By the way, issuing post facto standards would be "changing the rules after the election", and writing "new law" (like the Texan Law in place) the only standard available from the legislature was "determining the voter's intent" by standards at each canvassing board. Anything state wide would require a new action by the legislature which the FSC rightfully could not do. without having the Bush camp clamoring, new law was written.
