Another busy day of post-election politics.
The Miami-Dade election board quit working on its manual recount, saying they was not enough time to get it done before Sunday.
A Florida appeals court tonight upheld that decision.
The recounts continue in two other Florida localities.
The Bush campaign went to the U-S Supreme Court- -hoping to overturn the Florida Supreme Court's decision to allow the recounts, as long as they're done by Sunday.
Election officials in Broward County, Florida will be spending at least part of their Thanksgiving hand-counting ballots.
The three-member canvassing commission will reconvene at nine A-M tomorrow.
They'll be going through the remaining absentee and questionable ballots.
The state Supreme Court has given counties until Sunday to report their recount figures.

Late tonight-- -- a ruling in his favor....
An appeals court in Miami-Dade --a Democratic stronghold-- Wednesday night denied Al Gore's bid to start the hand count again.
Earlier in the day--election officials unexpectedly stopped counting, saying they couldn't make a Sunday deadline.

Another in the sea saw of rulings--went for the Vice President.
A judge in Palm Beach County ruled that the hand count there must consider disputed ballots with dimples.

A three-judge panel yesterday upheld the convictions of nine men arrested for soliciting sex from undercover police officers in a Roanoke park.
Their attorney argued that consensual oral sex is common among adults, and the law against it should be struck down.
But the court said the city had the right to crack down on cruising by gay men in a public park.
