The battle over ballots has reached the U-S Supreme Court.
The Bush camp wants the court to block the use of hand-counted ballots in Florida.
Gore's lawyers filed papers with the court tonight claiming Bush's request contains false and
"partisan accusations."
Terisa Estacio sums up the latest developments.

((It was the latest sign that Vice President Al Gore won't concede the
presidential election without a fight.
A spokesperson confirming the Democratic candidate won't give up, even
if George W. Bush is certified the winner in the Florida recount.
(SOT: Ron Klain/Gore Legal Strategist)
Well our next step would be to file a contest action here in Tallahassee
- to contest the results from Miami Dade.
The announcement came after the Florida Supreme Court refused to order
Miami Dade County officials to resume handcounting their presidential
election ballots.
(SOT: Craig Waters/Florida Supreme Court Clerk)
"The writ is denied with prejudice to any party raising any issue
presented in the writ and in any future proceeding -- no motion for
rehearing will be allowed - it is signed unanimously by all 7 justices."
Without the Miami ballots, the Vice President will be hard pressed to
catch up to Governor Bush by Sunday's deadline.
(NATS)
The news from the Gore camp came as the ballot showdown moved to the
United State Supreme Court.
Thanksgiving Day saw a flurry of activity; as the Vice President's
lawyers filed their response to a Bush appeal to stop the hand count.
(STANDUP)
If the Vice President contests the election, it would drag out the
process for at least a few more days.
But Gore's legal advisors today hinted that if they end up on Sunday
with a comfortable lead from the Broward and Palm Beach hand counts,
they may DROP the court action

[GRAPHIC=TECH/UVA]
The Virginia Tech Hokies have had two weeks to wrest their bodies in preparation for their date with UVa. But with coach Beamer's son Shane a grad assistant at Georgia Tech, one would think the coaches have been milking him for all the info on the Wahoos.

The Cavaliers lost to Ga. Tech 35-to-nothing back on Thursday night November 9th when the Yellow Jackets jumped on UVa early and pitched a shutout.

[SUPER=03-Charlottesville/Last Saturday; :]
Perhaps the biggest challenge Saturday against Virginia Tech will be for the Cavaliers number 9 and 21, cornerbacks Ahmad Hawkins and Tim Spruill to stop Tech's big play receivers. Despite the pressure of the game, these two are still very thankful.
