SOUNDBITE (English) REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH SAYING: "The court had cloaked its ruling in legalistic language, but make no mistake. The court rewrote the law. It changed the rules, and it did so after the election was over. Manual recounts will continue in three selective counties with no uniform standards, no clear direction, and therefore no fair or accurate result." 1.25 WASHINGTON, D.C., UNITED STATES (NOVEMBER 22, 2000) (U.S. POOL) 4.

Under Florida law, once the finding is made, the re-count is mandatory. We will immediately be seeking an order directing the Dade County board of canvassers to resume the manual recount." 2.06 PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES (NOVEMBER 22, 2000) (U.S. POOL) 5.
