Petz, If BOISSE had followed the above rules in the contest phase of the election .... ....4)Bush would have won anyway. That's the reason Gore team chose to pursue hunting for votes using a very opportunistic approach. You can fault the Gore legal team for many things, but they are not stupid. Joe

John, a clear violation of FEDERAL LAW. You guys crack me up. All these years of Republicans whining about Federal interference, and now they come running to suckle at the Supreme Court teat. Pretty pathetic. Scumbria

BOISSE had followed the above rules in the contest phase of the election 1)there would have been plenty of time to set a standard 2)the only court decision would have been on the legitimacy of a partially punched ballot counting as an indication of voter intent. The Fla. supreme court obviously would have upheld any standard agreed by all parties. 3)there would have been plenty of time to do the recount 4)Bush would have won anyway. If the Florida Supreme court, or anyone else for that matter, had set standards, other than the ones set in the statute they would have been equally reversed on appeal for "changing the rules" after the election. Was this not one of the Rep complaints on at least two appeals? Al
