There were some serious problems, but not in Florida. The Bush team
identified four states where it could have appealed based on evidence of
extensive voting fraud. However the playbook (*) for recounted elections
says that the tactics for the guy who's ahead are to minimise any
recounting going on (hence no appeals from the Bush team) and to try
to stay ahead while running out the clock.

  longer recount campaign in the courts over a Senatorial election.
