>Vacated actually means overturned until the FSSC replies. The USSC vacated their ruling which legally put the count back to what it was on November 14 plus the absentee count.
The ruling today included a reply. So unless/until the USSC overturns or vacates the new ruling, it stands.
Every time votes are counted, Bush loses more of his lead. That's why the Bush team is fighting so hard for no more counts. They want to quit while their guy is still ahead.
