NPR's Brian Naylor reports from Seminole County, Florida, on yet another lawsuit that's been filed over the presidential election.

As he did last night, the Vice President insisted that the appeals process needs to go on because all the votes in Florida have not been counted.

NPR's David Molpus reports that Bush and Gore lawyers have filed briefs with the federal appeals court in Atlanta. Bush's lawyers are asking the court to block further recounts of the Florida vote, maintaining that the procedures are unconstitutional and are undermining the integrity of the election.

NPR's Sarah Chayes reports on consumer panic over new cases of Mad Cow disease in France. With French shoppers shunning beef, the government this week banned beef-on-the-bone and the use of meat and bone-meal in all animal feed.
