Good Evening.
The Florida Supreme Court just moments ago said yes to recounts- the ruling was unanimous.
The action was in response to lawsuits filed by several counties and the Bush and Gore campaigns.

(( In this election that has become bogged down in legalities and

Thats where the votes are being recounted by hand. But the jurys still out on whether theyll ever be added to the states final tally.
Broward and Palm Beach County asked secretary of state Katherine Harris
for more time to finish. Harris a republican said no.
DON EVANS/ BUSH ADVISOR:
How can a manual recount be accurate when the ballots are changing before our very eyes.
Thats why Democrats and Republicans were back in a Tallahassee Courthouse today.
: The Democrats argue Harris violated a court orderand didnt
carefully consider the requests for more time.
DEXTER DOUGLAS /GORE CAMPAIGN:
The secretary did not excercise her discretion lawfully in the manner contemplated by this court's direction.
The secretary of states lawyer says she followed Florida law.
JOESPH KLOCK/SECRETARY OF STATE'S LEGAL ADVISOR.
THE SECRETARY OF STATE TOOK ENORMOUS CARE TO MAKE SURE SHE DID NOT VIOLATE YOUR ORDER.
And the recount battle rages on across the border in Georgia. There the republicans are appealing in federal court in Atlanta to stop
the handcounts.
And finally while Broward moves on with the recount Palm Beach remains idle waiting for legal advice to find out if and when it should
begin.

For a race so UNBEARABLY CLOSE -- the two campaigns couldn't be
FARTHER APART on how they're handling the wait of the past few days.

VISIBLE and VOCAL.

He's made sure the cameras caught him going back to work at the
White House -- and on Sunday -- looking upbeat and confident -- heading

And his campaign couldn't have been happier than when cameras
caught the Vice President and his running mate waving to cheering crowds
at a movie theater -- relaxing on a Saturday night.
NAT/SOT MOVIE THEATER CROWD FROM SATURDAY
NAT/SOT BUSH AT RANCH
(NARR:)
By Contrast, George W. Bush has spent the SAME time cloistered at
his ranch in Crawford Texas -- some 90 miles away from the Governor's
mansion, where most of the media is camped out.
His campaign has referred nearly every question to its legal team in
Florida -- headed by former Secretary of State James Baker.
It wasn't until Wednesday night -- when the Vice President made a
carefully timed appearance designed to break into network news
broadcasts, that the Texas Governor was forced to rush back to Austin to
respond in kind -- only to leave minutes after it was over to head back
to the solitude of his ranch.
(COWAN ON CAM:)
"The Bush camp maintains the governor is trying to stay above the fray
-- letting his best people work out the legal wranglings while HE
focuses on state business. The Gore campaign says the Vice President is
intent on showing the nation he remains involved in the process. Two
approaches to a battle that is as much about politics as it is about
PR. Lee Cowan CBS News, Austin."
