Hanging Chad outcome again?

The Democrats created the hanging chad fiasco in Florida in 2000 by claiming their own registered voters were confused and officials would need to guess at intentions in a recount. And a recount of the recount of the intentions.

Lawyers flocked;
voters mocked;
Democrats squawked.

Now their state rules and their own inaction could mess them up in trying to elect Obama. If McCain wins Florida, no problem. But if Obama wins and the Democrats haven't gotten their certification of electors to the governor by Sept.1, I'm sure we'll see another Supreme Court trying to decide their intent instead of their acts.

Update: What's happening with the challenges to Obama's birth certificate?

I ignored the Edwards rumors when I first heard them (no one would be THAT low, I thought), so decided to take a look at the Obama constitutional residency requirements. Some of the rumors are quite wild and salacious. Seems Daily Kos actually posted a fake COLB (certificate of live birth) to squelch the rumors, but if it is fake, it only inflamed things. Obama could settle this. Just present his original birth certificate (although to whom I have no idea). I'm in a genealogy class this week. People do this all the time. His would have to be requested by him (privacy laws) since you can't just get the documents of living people, which would be the first question I'd ask Kos. Lots of birth certificates have errors. When the grave marker was to be prepared for my sister, it was discovered her birth certificate didn't match the name she'd used all her life. My father's read: Baby Boy, with no first name. It was never filled in by the doctor who delivered him. Maybe Obama did this while on his Hawaiian vacation this week. McCain was also born outside the continental U.S. but both his parents were citizens. If only one parent is a natural born citizen, then there are additional guidelines, like length of residency of the parent. And Hawaii wasn't a state during part of this period of his mother's required residency. At least I think that's the drift. I doubt that illegitimacy is the issue, or a middle name of Muhammed, speculation I've also seen at blogs. These days, Hussein isn't exactly a winner, and no one cares if your parents were legally married in 1961. At least it doesn't matter if born in 2008.
