...supposedly one-day trials dragged on and on. The basic facts were never in dispute: Two Republican supervisors of elections had allowed Republican party workers access to two stacks of absentee ballot applications, in order to fill in voter ID numbers - left off the forms by a printing error - and save the applications from the trash. (A similar case in Bay County was thrown out of a lower court Thursday...
Mezrich called Hollywood worse than the publishing industry. When his novel Reaper was made into the television film Fatal Error, he said he was able to exercise some creative control, but the movie ended up with a cast that wasn't exactly what he had envisioned...
...Republicans, with Terry C. Young defending Goard and Barry Richard and Daryl Bristow representing Bush (while doing double duty between this case and the roughly equivalent Martin County case down the hall), say it's a "hypertechnicality."

"The system is unfair, inaccurate, fraught with human error!" Strayer cried. In a Winnebago outside, G.O.P. operatives orchestrated the ranks up to the 19th floor, hoping to halt the tally of the largest potential lode of Gore votes...
