Does this moron know that the AP hand counted the ballots and declared W the winner anyway?
How the ballots were counted or not counted was irrelevant. The Constitution vests the power to appoint Electors in the Florida Legislature.
There is nothing in the Constitution about “running for President” or “voting for President”.
If Gore had won Florida by 50,000 votes, I’m sure the GOP Legislature would have agreed to send Gore’s Electors to DC. But under the conditions that existed in Florida on the day after Election Day and afterwards, there was no way that heavily Republican Legislature was not going to send the Bush Electors up the line.
The Supreme Court invented an extra-Constitutional process, stuck its nose in where it had no business, and increased its own power at the same time.
This moron doesn’t know anything!
