Sorry, you are wrong. 72 hours had passed.

Edit: Of course following the law can be an impediment at times.

Gore said it on TV, but when it came down to the real world he argued against it.

He could have asked:

- the canvassing boards during the protest he did not.
- During the first FSC Case Palm Beach v Harris, where the court noted that the court inquired about it and neither party expressed an intrerst.
- Duirng the Contest trial with Judge Sauls he did not

In fact, He argued against it in Judge Sauls court room. When Bush lawyers and intervenors argued that any remedy must include other counties, David Boise in his closing arguments argued against it.

David Boise argued against it in the 2nd FSC Case. He argued against it before the US Supreme court too.

You should pay more attention.

Hellllloooooooooo...are you home but you can't get up?

Gore asked for a statewide recount only after the statutory date had passed knowing full well that it would have been illegal by Florida law to hold such a recount.

If you have any knowledge of laws the outcome would be predictable. If Bush would have increased his margin in the other counties, I could see Boies arguing that the recount was illegal as its request passed the statutory date.

You can't have your cake and eat it too!

Gore needed to request the statewide recount within the statutory framework, which I believe they said was 72 hours after the polls closed. He didn't. He requested selective recounts of carefully mined counties.
