Based on what I recall of the case, they should have ordered a statewide recount rather than one limited to the counties Gore contested
(Really, though, Gore should have sought a statewide recount from the beginning)
Which would have been illegal under Florida state law. Florida law required candidates to only request recounts in the Counties where they believe errors in the vote totals are most likely to exist. Candidates are not allowed to ask for a full statewide recount.
Ignore my comment, in that case
