...Bush campaign, which was hoping to have them declared in violation of Florida law. (The federal appeals court in Atlanta has agreed to hear the case, by the way.) The Florida high court also denied Harris's request to have all election-related lawsuits consolidated in the local circuit court in Tallahassee (something else the Bush campaign wanted), but said nothing about taking the bundle on themselves, which was Warren Christopher's proffer to the Bush camp earlier in the day. (Christopher's reason for proposal may just have something to do with the seven justices' Democratic lineage, which...

Gore's campaign manager dismissed Baker's offer as a "reiteration of what the Florida secretary of state has already laid out" - which could be tossed out by Leon County Circuit Judge Terry Lewis at any moment. He also brushed off the market-uncertainty issue as the complaints of "parobably partisan investment bankers." Though the Gore people may feel differently if the deadline-extension lawsuit goes against them, they see no reason to stop a manual recount at 5 p.m. when it could still add more ballots to their...
