How is it legal?

60. A media consortium recounted the 2000 Florida ballots...

... long after the election was over. It obviously had no bearing on the results, as was known when it started.

The recount by them was chock-full of irony for both the Gore and Bush teams, both of whom repeatedly pushed for things which wouldn't have helped them at all -- such as the limited recount in mostly Democratic counties by Gore, which would've still resulted in a Bush victory. A full recount of the entire state, on the other hand, would've resulted in Gore barely winning depending on how contested ballots were included/excluded.

This Arizona recount is a partisan joke in comparison, but it won't change anything. The insane will continue believing whatever they want to believe, no matter what this supposed recount reveals either way.
