vote. Power's out."

Merrill Wigginton, the Island's chief electoral officer, said he had to use a chainsaw to clear his driveway before he could get to his office to supervise an election that will likely be similar to what the Fathers of Confederation experienced in the 19th century.

Wigginton said he's advised the clerks at polling stations to gather kerosene lanterns and candles, which could be needed when the vote counting gets underway after 7 p.m.

OOPS! Due to a power failure thousands of votes were lost. The Florida State Legislature met in an emergency session to determine what to do. They determined that florida would be unable to choose its electors in compliance with Title 3, chapter 1, Section 1 of the United States Code.

A vote is scheduled for the floor on the legislature on November 9th at which time, the Florida Legislature will determine the electors in accordance with Title 3, Chapter 1, Section 2 of the United States Code.
