The Florida Supreme Court today handed a victory to Vice President Al Gore in his challenge to the state's certified election results. The court ruled thousands of ballots that did not register a vote for president when run through a machine must now be counted by hand. The Gore campaign has declared the ruling a "victory for democracy." The Bush campaign called it "disappointing," and promised an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. NPR's Melissa Block talks to Noah Adams about the ruling.
