Poll of 947 adults, then 688 adults, finds most Americans expect Bush to win the presidency while belief that he would have won legitimately falls below half. Among respondents, 28% think Bush would legitimately win, 54% say Florida voting was improperly conducted, and 18% favor Gore. Margins of error are about 4 points.
In New York AP reports broadcast networks aired the Supreme Court arguments with limited video. ABC CBS and NBC cut into regular programming for the historic session but limited the 90 minute audiotape to about 15 minutes, letting local affiliates decide how long to stay.
The Supreme Court heard 90 minutes of Friday arguments in Bush v Gore as several justices consider Bush's complaints against a Florida Supreme Court decision allowing late manual recounts. Olson argues the Florida ruling rewrote election laws, while Tribe counters that the case hinges on statutory construction and federalism principles.
The Florida Supreme Court and a State court judge rejected Gore bid for an immediate manual recount of 14000 disputed ballots in Miami Dade and Palm Beach counties. The high court also refused to order a new Palm Beach County election over the butterfly ballot design.
Maria Cantwell, a self financed Democrat and former U.S. representative, beat 18 year incumbent Slade Gorton by 2,229 votes as Washington finalized an automatic recount. Cantwell carried King County and five others to widen a margin exceeding 150,000 votes, leaving America’s last unsettled Senate race settled.
Demonstrators march outside the court with signs as the justices hear arguments. The court released an audio tape of the proceedings while cameras remained barred. Gore observers see a potential 4 4 split with O Connor pivotal, while Bush allies point to concerns over state court overreach. Florida Supreme Court and Tallahassee judge Sauls reject immediate recounts, leaving timing unclear and Bush holding a slim lead in the national tally.
