Both the pan-blue and the pan-green camps agreed to recount all the ballots from the presidential election, but neither political alliance wants to be responsible for paying the necessary expenses to conduct the process.

The Taiwan High Court held the first hearing for the suit yesterday. The suit was filed by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT)-People First Party (PFP) alliance in order to suspend President Chen Shui-bian (???) and Vice President Annette Lu's (???) re-election victory.

How to process the recount and who will pay the necessary expenses of the legal process were the subject of arguments between the plaintiff and the defendant.

Prior to yesterday's hearing, the parties had not come to an agreement on how to recount the ballots.
