Well, the law did not allow for such to happen, the law was clear on how to handle recounts. Gore wanted recounts in a select few counties, which the law did not allow for.
Then he wanted recounts to continue after the deadline, and he wanted manual recounts, these are all thing that the law doesn't allow for.
