On November 22, the Republican Party formally appealed to the Federal Supreme Court, demanding that it overturn the Florida Supreme Court's ruling allowing the results of manual recounts to be included in Florida's total vote count. They also called for a recount of overseas ballots previously deemed invalid in thirteen Florida counties.

The election battle between the two parties had finally reached the Federal Supreme Court!

Not only that, but that afternoon, Florida's vote count encountered another twist. Miami-Dade County—one of the state's three most controversial counties—announced that it would suspend its manual recount and only tally the 10,750 ballots that machines had been unable to read.

In response, the Democratic campaign once again appealed to the Florida Supreme Court, demanding that the manual recount in Miami-Dade County continue.

From the courts in Palm Beach County and elsewhere, to the Florida Supreme Court, and then to the Federal Supreme Court, the struggle between the two parties seemed endless!

On November 23, Thanksgiving, the Florida Supreme Court rejected the Democrats' appeal.

Waters, spokesperson for the Florida Supreme Court, issued a statement saying that the Democrats' appeal had been dismissed without prejudice. There would be no further court arguments, and all seven justices had signed the ruling!

Al Gore's camp, having just scored a victory at the Florida Supreme Court, was immediately dealt another heavy blow.

The Democratic Party refused to back down and once again filed a complaint with the Florida Supreme Court, claiming that if Miami-Dade County, Florida, did not count those several thousand disputed ballots, they would take the matter to the Federal Supreme Court.

At the same time, Al Gore began assembling a transition government!

"It must have been Jeb Bush's doing. How else could he get several thousand ballots in Miami-Dade County thrown out?"
