Yes, but didn't the U.S Supreme rule that the Florida legislature has plenary power in this ? So when the Florida legislature's electors get to Congress , they will be favored over any from Gore based on any change of final number resulting from today's ruling, and the Republican House will be backed up by the U.S. Supreme Court based on the Florida legislature having plenary power.

If so, winner Bush. Get ready to fight Bush.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- A sharply divided Florida Supreme Court ordered manual recounts to begin in Florida's contested presidential election on Friday, breathing new life into Al Gore's quest for the White House.

``Because time is of the essence, the recount will commence immediately,'' said the court's spokesman, Craig Waters.

On a ruling of 4-3, the court also added 383 votes to Gore's total. . .
