in 2000, the Florida legislature should have decided the matter. The problem was that it was controlled by Republicans, and Gore partisans would have screamed as much about that as they did about the Court’s decision. Push come to shove, Gore should have done what Nixon did in 1960, just accepted his loss. Convinced me forever that popular election is not the way to elect the President. Not unless they do it like the French and have the option of a do-over.

Uh, after the statutory recount, the FL SecState sent the electoral vote results to Gov Jeb Bush. As per FL law, Bush signed the document and sent it to the Archivist of the United States. I think that must be done in December, but I could be wrong.

Anyway, there was no input from any court. The FL SecState and Governor obeyed the law.

There wasn't a thing any court could do about it. Oh, the gorebots and lefty moonbats screamed. Tough.

Our much maligned Framers set the system up perfectly.

No judge can legitimately determine who will or will not be on state ballots. That is a good thing
