Gore’s team set the stakes in
its filing with the high court,
writing: “In but a few more
days, only the judgment of his-
tory will be left to fall upon a
system where deliberate
obstruction has succeeded in
achieving delay — and where
further delays risk succeeding in
handing democracy a defeat.”
Bush’s team countered that
the people had spoken on
Election Day and that “at ho
time in our nation’s history has a
presidential race been decided
Obituaries

by an election contest, in a court
of law.”
The stalemate that has loomed
since Nov. 7 seemed to be near-
ing the end of overtime and
heading to a sudden-death score,
almost surely in the form of a
court ruling.
One surprise might come
from two parallel cases unfold-
ing before separate judges in the
same Tallahassee courthouse.
Democrats were challenging a
total of 25,000 absentee ballots
in Seminole and Martin coun-
ties, saying Republicans had
■■ • , /
been unfairly permitted to cor-
rect mistakes on ballot applica-
tions, in violation of state law.
Either suit had the potential to
switch the lead in Florida’s vote
count from Bush to Gore, since
Bush won the absentee ballots
by a 2-to-l margin.
Bush, leading by a few hun-
dred votes ever since the Nov. 7
election and talking more like a
president-elect each day, said he
had “pretty well made up my
mind” on his White House staff.
Meeting in Austin, Texas, with
his presumptive national security
adviser, Stanford University
administrator Condoleezza Rice,
Bush warned the nation’s ene-
mies not to look for advantage
amid political uncertainty.
He said he would do “whatev-
er it takes to send a chilling sig-
nal to terrorists that we’ll protect
our property and our people.”
In Washington, congressional
leaders hejd the traditional nail-
driving ceremony to kick off
construction of the inaugural
platform on which someone will
be sworn in on Jan. 20. The
printing of thousands of pro-
grams, invitations and tickets
remained on hold.
Virtually everyone was look-
ing toward the courts for a final
answer.
One interim ruling finally
went Gore’s way on Wednesday.
The llth U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in Atlanta said Bush
and his supporters failed to prove
they were irreparably injured by
hand recounts that lowered his
lead from 930 votes to 537 out of
6 million cast in Florida.
At the same time, the judges
made clear they were not ruling
on the constitutional points
raised by the Texas governor.
In Florida, the legal landscape
was less clear. Bush and Gore
submitted written legal argu-
ments to the state’s highest court
in advance of Tfiursday morn-
ing’s oral arguments.
‘Time is of the essence in this
matter,” Gore said in his papers.
“If the office at issue was not the
presidency, ... delaying ballot
counting until after all other
issues are resolved would not be
such irremediable and egregious
error.”
