# The Florida Supreme Court, in a one-paragraph decision, denied
# a petition by Florida Secretary of State Harris to halt manual
# recounts in at least two counties and consolidate 11 lower-court
# cases into a single one. The ruling gave elections officials
# in Palm Beach and Broward counties reason to restart a hand count
# of as many as 1 million votes.
#
# The Bush campaign has argued that the seven-member state panel
# - filled entirely by Democrats - has no authority in the case.
# "It's my opinion that the [Florida] Supreme Court has no
# jurisdiction," said Barry Richard, a Bush legal adviser.
