Good Morning, I'm Kimberly McBroom.
Still no official President- Elect.
Attorneys for both George W- Bush and Vice President Al Gore head to federal court today to fight over Florida's vote recounts.
The Bush camp wants a judge to stop the hand recounts.
Gore's legal team says the recounts are proper under state law.
Meanwhile, both candidates are laying low, and letting top aides handle the dispute.
Jennifer Jones has the latest.

After discrepancies were found in a manual recount of four Palm Beach
County precincts, elections officials there have decided to hand count
all 425 thousand ballots.

"I believe the people of Palm Beach County have entrusted us with the
power to voice their right to participate in their government."
But in court today, lawyers for Texas Governor George W. Bush hope to
convince a federal judge to nullify the hand counts going on in several
Florida counties.

SOT: James Baker/Bush Advisor
"We've had one full recount, we ought to live with that, both parties
should live with it, it shows a very narrow margin for Governor Bush."
Advisors to Vice President Al Gore argue the manual counts are needed to
find out who really won this very close race.
SOT: Warren Christopher/Gore Advisor
"I think that Al Gore would get more votes in Florida as a whole if the
matter were fully, fairly and expeditiously counted."
To look at Vice President Al Gore and Texas Governor George W. Bush, you
would never know they are in the legal battle of their lives. Both men
stayed out of the spotlight this weekend, leaving surrogates to fight

((Complaints about a confusing ballot in Palm Beach brought a note from a Christiansburg viewer [William Shorter, Jr.], who says he gave a replica to his 7-year-old daughter. She apparently had no trouble filling it out correctly.
"If a 7-year-old can mark the correct circle, what does that say about the voters in Florida who could not? This ballot appeared to be straightforward enough for a 7-year-old. Seems like all this controversy about this particular ballot is much ado about nothing."
A viewer from Roanoke [Carol L. Perdue] commented:
"Until the people have spoken, nobody assumes the presidency in this nation. Period. Both candidates should back off and let the people speak and the courts decide. The people and the rule of law are supreme, not spin doctors and politicians."
Another person [Rick Protz, Lynch Station] would change balloting to a system more like Oregon's, in which everyone votes by mail.
"...perhaps voting over a short amount of time by snail mail or a ballot drop site or by having a secure voting machine at your local Post Office...Perhaps even a receipt could be sent to each voter informing them that their vote had been received and counted. That way there could be no exit polling for the media to use to either encourage or discourage voters."
