LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: The Gore campaign is also forging ahead with its legal battle over the ballots. Gore's attorneys are trying to get the hand recount restarted in Miami-Dade County. We get the latest on that now from CNN's Patty Davis, live from the Gore camp in Washington. Happy Thanksgiving to you, Patty.</s>PATTY DAVIS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Thank you; you too, Leon. Vice President Al Gore and his family are celebrating Thanksgiving in the official residence that you see behind me. Meanwhile, as you said, his attorneys hard at work. They, according to spokesman Doug Hattaway will, this morning, be filing an appeal in Florida Supreme Court to force Miami-Dade County to go ahead and restart those hand recounts. What they will argue is that, once the county says there were problems with that recount, Florida law mandates that they go ahead and do another -- do a manual recount at that point. The Gore people are saying that there is intimidation involved in the decision by the canvassing officials to stop that recount. You see this video: This is what they are talking about. They're pointing to intimidation, they say, by Republicans. A disturbance there in the building where the count was going on. Those Republicans, obviously, upset with the recount; and Gore people saying that this was no accident that this disturbance took place. Now, while the Gore aides say that they do very much need those Miami-Dade votes, they are confident that Broward and Palm County can deliver enough votes for Gore to prevail over Texas Governor George W. Bush. I'm Patty Davis, CNN, live in Washington.</s>HARRIS: All right, thanks Patty.
