A reliable source within the Gore camp informs NewsMax.com that lawyers this very
minute, retained by the Gore-Lieberman 2000 campaign, are feverishly putting
the finishing touches on a lawsuit that will seek to
overturn the imminent victory by George W. Bush in Florida.
The suit is expected to be filed within the next 24 hours and will
apparently be a request by the Gore forces to get state officials in Florida
to decertify, or declare invalid, the election.
No further details can be revealed at this time, but clearly Gore is going to
try to secure in a courtroom what he appears to be unable to do
at the ballot box.
Bush campaign high-level officials in Austin have come down hard upon the
Broward County GOP in pressuring them to drop their allegations, made
Tuesday and reported first on NewsMax.com, of widespread vote fraud by the
Democrats.
In doing so, the Bush officials in Austin seem to be underestimating the
willingness of the Gore camp to attempt to delegitimize the Florida victory
of Bush and with it the entire election.
