Some members fear an unprecedented constitutional crisis lies ahead.
If the matter fell to Congress in early January, Barrett imagines the Senate favoring Gore electors and the House siding with the Bush electors. He said he had had conference calls with Gore advisers this week, whose implicit message has been that they're not giving up hope. Feingold, a Democratic senator from Middleton, said his concern was that the ultimate victor be accepted. I will not be part of an effort to cry foul, to delegitimatize whomever it is. However this ends, we need to come together and support the new president.
