Harvard Democrats said they saw no reason for Gore to concede the election, even as pressure for them to do so mounts from some Democrats.
"In reality, the certification doesn't mean that Bush wins Florida's
election votes," said Harvard College Democrats President Marc Stad '01, who added that Florida law gives Gore time to contest.
Stad said the Florida Supreme Court ruled that they wanted the intent of the voter to be determined, but did not give enough time for recounts to be carried out.
"What we need is a complete and accurate hand recount. That's the most
accurate way to determine how many people voted for each candidate," he said. "Once [Miami-Dade is] counted, it will put Gore over the top."
