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 hand counting 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.

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
