42. If it's illegal why don't the lawyers know what to do about it???
Same thing with New Mexico recount. According to Cobb Website, asking for the 1.5 mil. for recount is illegal...but what to do about it? Shouldn't govenor Richardson intervene in New Mexico? But, how can he intervene with his state Supreme Court who refused to allow the recount to go forward?

It says it has to be taken to the US Supreme Court which will then in turn refuse to hear it...Yet if it's against state law WHO has jurisdiction in NM? Kerry will have to intervene in New Mexico just as Gore's lawyers did in Florida. Will he be willing to do that, given that Richardson is a fellow Dem?

It's all very complicated and seems that we aren't getting the help we need in time to do anything? :eyes:
