"Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector."
This means that they have to go by the rules that were made by the state legislature. And these rules must be made before the election takes place.
The Democrats in Flroida tried to change the rules by use of the courts. And they tried to make these changes after the election had already taken place.
The U.S. Supreme Court said you can't do that.
If you want to change the rules, then you must do it through the state legislature. And you must do it before the election takes place.
Also, if you're going to have a recount, it must be across the entire state. The Democrats only wanted recounts in heavily Democratic districts.
They did many counts and recounts. Bush won every count, and every recount.
heaven forbid we let the law play apart in this...
