Al, I wonder how the USSC would have ruled if the Florida SC had in fact created a standard for the recount, thereby really violating the statute, whose standard is the unstandardized determination of the intent of the voter. The only document in the state was a memorandum in Palm Beach County from 1990 I believe, which said no dimples. Since it is the only standard, it would have to be it. Under this standard, Bush wins, since some 600 to 900 vote gains from the hand recounts would disappear. See my post on Intel thread: Message 15011327 It seems that, in the eyes of this court, equal protection is more equal for the plaintiff, Bush, than it is for the 40K or so voters whose vote could have been examined, and was not. The remaining 40K undervotes would only increase Bush's majority, since they were in pro-Bush counties. Joe
