A court hearing for a similar filing by West in St. Lucie County had not yet been scheduled. Crow's ruling was a defeat for West, though his allies claimed victory. "We sought today assurances from the court and, indeed, from the defendants, that all the policies and procedures and the statutes would be adhered to, that we'd follow the law, it would be transparent, it would be done with integrity," West's attorney, Shari McCarthy, said after the hearing. "We got that. We're thrilled." McCarthy said they would not appeal the ruling. But even if the comprehensive vote tally -- which will include absentee, provisional and military ballots that are still being counted
-- falls outside the bounds of a recount, West still can contest the race in court.
