...maybe the counting board shouldn't have taken Thanksgiving off. But if Harris was any sort of diplomat, she might have graciously closed up her office, taken the whole batch in the morning, and in the process made her soon-to-be-litigated certification a little less temporary. Palm Beach, counting for posterity and the courts, finished before the ceremony took place. Bush's lead was not in danger...

This is very unofficial, as the dimpled ballots are set aside and are not counted in the county's official recount. However, the Gore campaign is expected to to file suit in Palm Beach County tomorrow in order to have...
