if they would have made a consistant reproducible vote counting standard from the bench the us supremes would have supported it 6 to 3.

that is why i am disappointed with the florida sc judges.
they could have made fair standards and they refused.

they have made judges look bad.

The FSC got knocked down for creating new law. But a standard would have been obtainable easily from the proper authority, the Floriday Secretary of state.

Every argument that addressed this issue concluded that any standard within 'intent of the voter' would have been legal since it it did not rewrite existing law, so long as it was derived from the legislature, who has delegated to the SoS

No way was the FSC going to defer to another authority.
