The US Supreme Court theoretically should have nothing to say about how states handle their elections, but the Repubs are going to make absolutely certain that there is never an accurate recount. Their worst nightmare is that a recount starts to show Gore ahead. This would make the Fla. legislature and Congress look all the more ridiculous if they try to by-pass the vote. The only way to make sure that doesn't happen is to make sure all those undervotes, particularly those from Miami that have never been manually counted, never see the light of day. I'm no great Gore fan, but I think he actually won this election One could become very cynical about this whole process. ksvt

I agree about the U.S. Supreme Court because this is not a federal issue yet. This is getting ridiculous but I do believe Gore won, too, and that he has a right to defend his beliefs. Many don't seem to see that the process was fouled up by many votes being thrown out-tens of thousands. The machines rejected them but a voting attempt was made. I wish they would just count the votes and let them take their time-we'll just ask Clinton to stay on and he won't mind :). The republicans are just trying to BARGE IN to the presidency. Gore won by hundreds of thousands of votes and that usually means that that person wins the electoral votes, too. I saw lots of reports on election day night and there were a lot of underhanded things being reported and one of them was that the Missouri polls were supposed to stay open longer because there was a problem and the republicans got them shut down! There also was a report from Florida where a lady said that there were incorrect votes entered. I think Gore is a much better person for the job. He actually wants to get a lot of things done and help a lot of people and do great things. I heard someone on tv. say that Bush just wants to "play president" but he doesn't want to do anything. It was a comedian. I don't know what Bush or Gore will do if either wins one of these years-that's for all to see.
