Bobert, correct me if I'm wrong,(as I'm sure you will) but I thought that the US Supreme Court told the Florida Supreme Court that IF they were going to have a recount, it must be ALL the ballots in the state and not just the ones from the heavily Democratic South Florida counties and that the same standards as to what constituted a valid vote must be used throughout.
The US Supreme Court did not stop the count. They simply insisted thateveryones rights be protected, not just the voters in Palm Beach and Dade county.
BTW< several major newspapers did do a recount. In at least two of them, Bush won.
