The political focus of the day is in Washington at the U.S. Supreme Court, but no less important are legal maneuvers in Tallahassee, Florida. Linda Wertheimer talks to NPR's Debbie Elliott, who was in the Florida capital for a hearing before Circuit Judge N. Sanders Sauls today. The judge denied a Gore request for an immediate count of some 14,000 questionable ballots, until evidence can be looked at tomorrow. The Bush camp, meantime, has insisted that if votes are to be counted, then it should not be limited to the 14,000. And for the second day in a row, a Ryder truck is carrying ballots from southern Florida to Tallahassee, this time from Miami-Dade County.
