How long will Bush people hav to challenge the Kerry/Edwards Nov 2, Win?

[Blaze Diem]

..with the ruling on unlimited funds to recount, is there a lingth of time this election can be held up in lawyer litigation?

If Kerry is the winner and Bush attorneys contest it, will Bush still have to hand the Presidency over to Kerry in January?

Please tell me we won't have to wait for an official determination to move our President Kerry into the Oval Office.

How long can lawyers tie this up?

1. Electoral College is in mid-December

The dust has to settle by then.

2. December 12th to be exact.

10. And a tip o' the hat to FTBG.............n/t

[FloridaPat]

3. As long as it takes to get a case before the supremem court.

4. What challenge? Don't you think the NRA will circle the wagons

around the White House?

[Touchdown]

6. If they do, the new CIC will have the Army and their tanks.

...at least what's left of them in the US. Don't you think the NRA's wagons will skitter away when a bunch of M1s show up?

11. Not necessarily; they could do it before Kerry's sworn in

Besides, I mapped it out here:

5. Don't let it be close enough to challenge. GOTV. -eom

7. It will depend on the state law of the state where results are challenged.

I expect Bush to challenge the results of 3 or 4 states.

8. One thing learned in 2000.

The constitutional deadlines are more important than WHO actually won. If there isn't time to count all the votes--too bad.

Of course it's ludicrous but that's the precedent that was set.

9. Once we win

We don't let go. Not for one second.

That's one thing the Bush team did very well last time. They used the media effectively to make it look as though the burden was on Gore. That's why everyone was convinced that Gore should have conceded.
