The petition presents the following questions: whether
the Florida Supreme Court established new standards
for resolving Presidential election contests, thereby
violating Art. II, �1, cl. 2, of the United States
Constitution and failing to comply with 3 U.S.C. � 5
and whether the use of standardless manual recounts
violates the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses.
With respect to the equal protection question, we find
a violation of the Equal Protection Clause.
