Interesting that you would search for a right and wrong answer to this issue. Did you get a chance to digest the 40 page opinions? I tried but fell asleep mid-way.

I still disagree with the argument because I can and believe it was politically motivated. The USSC cited equal protection, but was hypocritical by disenfranchising thousands of voters. The GOP of Florida has lacked the leadership to bring ballot and voting systems to an equal level throughout the state. How can equal protection be guaranteed when some citizens are given greater margin of error than others. And how is it that the Supreme Court decided a recount violated due process, when Florida law permits such a practice?
