If the vote is within two points in 1/3 of the states then we may have problems. However, only a few of states are still dead heats. Even if Kerry wins or contests; Colorado (likely legal problems), New Mexico, Florida (likely legal problems), Minnesota and Michigan, Bush still wins by a clear electoral majority (280). Thus, any legal cases in these states will have no effect on the electoral collage. Only 2/3 of the states are required for a quorum.
