Florida Supreme Court Recount Deadline Sparks Bitter Debate
The Florida high court ordered a five day recount continuation in Miami Dade and other counties, aiming to finish by December 12. The decision limits Gore and Bush campaigns, extending a legal contest while risking missed certifications and renewed tensions in the election dispute. The ruling draws critique that the court split the baby, preserving a path to further challenges rather than finalizing results.
