...Gore to win, he needs to survive a bewildering legal obstacle course--not just the U.S. Supreme Court but also the Florida Supremes, Judge N. Sanders Sauls' circuit courtroom, the Florida legislature and even the U.S. Congress. (Of course, there's a chance a judge will throw out all those absentee ballots in Seminole County, which would make the ride a whole lot easier.)

Confused? Check out Arts in print for the data...
...Florida court's decision rendered many pundits briefly speechless - particularly over one aspect of the ruling: "The circuit court shall order a manual recount of all undervotes [or votes that did not register one way or another in the vote counting machines] in any Florida county where such a recount has not yet occurred.
