Florida
continued from page 1
based on the recount and violates
what this court has ruled ... which
is to accept those results unless she
has good reason not to, then we will
be back in court,” said a new mem
ber of Gore’s massive legal team,
David Boies.
With Harris’ announcement, the
battle lines were clearly drawn:
Bush’s team says the manual re
counts are conducted with no set
standards in Democratic-leaning
counties with the sole purpose of
pushing Gore ahead. The vice pres
ident’s team argues that the
painstaking process is the only way
to ensure that every Florida voter is
heard.
The next pivot points will be
when overseas ballots are counted,
with results due by midnight Fri
day, and when Harris is confronted
with the recount totals that could
threaten Bush’s lead.
The race tumbled to the courts af
ter a statewide machine recount
trimmed Bush’s lead from 1,784
votes to a few hundred, prompting
Gore to push for painstaking manu
al recounts and Bush to fight them
in courts of law and public opinion.
Officials in two counties tabulat
ed ballots by hand Tuesday, with
action in two other jurisdictions
pending.
Shoving matches and shouting
fits punctuated the action inside
and outside Florida’s courtrooms.
Jeb Bush said things were getting
“nerve-racking” throughout his
state.
“I can’t even walk around out
side now,” he said at a town hall
meeting 60 miles northwest of Tal
lahassee.
President Clinton weighed in
from Air Force One, telling AP re
porters he hopes the dispute does
n’t lead to a presidency crippled by
controversy.
“I think it’s too soon to say that
bitterness and partisanship will
paralyze the next president,” Clin
ton said as he flew from Hawaii to
Brunei. “We don’t know that.”
With the razor-thin lead jn ballots
counted so far, Baker said presiden
tial candidate Bush would accept
the results of manual recounts col
lected by close of business Tuesday
and the overseas absentee ballots
due in Friday. Both sides would also
drop their dueling lawsuits, Baker
said.
“It would give us some degree of
finality,” Baker told reporters.
“When is it going to end? I ask you,
when is it going to end?”
“It truly was not a proposal,”
sniffed Gore campaign chairman
William Daley during a visit to Capi
tol Hill to calm Democratic leaders.
“It was strictly, in my opinion, an in
I think it’s too soon to
say that bitterness and
partisanship will paralyze
the next president

accurate description of the laws of
Florida. The laws of Florida will be
determined by the courts. ”
If any Democrats were jittery
about the course Gore was steering
for the party, they appeared to bene
fit from hand-holding on Tuesday
by Daley.
“The support of the caucus is sol
id,” said House Minority Leader
Dick Gephardt, even as Democrats
said privately they would reassess
after final overseas ballots are count
ed Friday.
Bush’s team has heard some com
plaints from Republicans who want
him to be more aggressive in courts
and in the media.
“There’s a sense of helplessness,
that we’re watching an American
presidential election being stolen
right out from under our nose and
nothing’s being done to stop it,”
said Rusty Paul, former Georgia
GOP chairman.
Both Bush and Gore were lying
low. Gore called for calm on Mon
day but declined to field reporters’
questions. Bush monitored the le
gal fight from his ranch in Texas for
a third straight day and expected to
talk to journalists Wednesday.
The presidents-in-waiting are
trying to strike a balance between
their desire to be seen as prepared
— and a fear that they will appear
overeager.
Gore leads in the nationwide
popular vote by just 200,000 votes
out of 100 million cast, but the Elec
toral College tally is so close that
whoever takes Florida almost cer
tainly will win the White House.
Only three times in the nation’s his
tory has a candidate won the popu
lar vote but lost the presidential
race, the last time in 1888.
Not counting Florida, Bush car
ried 29 states for 246 electoral
votes. Gore counted 19 states plus
the District of Columbia for 262
electoral votes, with 270 needed for
victory. Gore led in New Mexico
but the state remained too close to
call.
Republicans have talked about
challenging Gore’s victories in
close-voting states other than Flori
da, but the tactic would be a long
shot. A new poll Tuesday said vot
ers believe the results of the recount
in Florida should determine the
next president.
The Bush campaign has said for
days it would accept the results of
absentee ballots and those certified
by Tuesday. Baker threw in the
manual counts in a further effort to
portray Bush as the only candidate
who wanted the issue resolved
quickly.
He said Bush was taking a risk
because manual counts could erode
his lead. But Republicans have
closely monitored the recount
process and knew there was little
chance that Gore could overtake the
Texan by Tuesday night.
“That’s like offering sleeves from
his vest,” Christopher cracked.
Christopher appealed to the pub
lic’s sense of fair play.
“I see a yearning in the country
for the vote to be correctly counted,
and I think we’re going down that
path. That’s what I see the country
most interested in,” he said.
Shortly after Harris’ announce
ment, Bush spokeswoman Karen
Hughes told a news conference that
the Gore drive “cannot possibly re
sult in a fair and accurate count of
the votes.” Gore spokesman Chris
Lehane said hand counting is the
only way to “make sure the will of
the people is reflected.”
