The Florida Supreme Court has just delivered a 42 page
judgement concerning the outcome of the Florida State
Presidential Election holding that the hand recounts
currently underway will count in the Presidential
race.
The court said that the County Canvassing boards
conducting the recounts will have to file their results by
9am November 27th.
In doing so the court overturned an
earlier decision that held that the Florida Secretary of
State had a discretion not to accept the results of hand
recounts.
