Workers transport boxes of sealed ballots of
the disputed March 20 election to a courthouse in Taipei May 9, 2004, on
the eve of an island-wide vote recount. Chen Shui-bian's razor-thin
election victory is being contested by opposition candidate Lien Chan who
has filed two lawsuits with the "High Court", with one seeking to nullify
Chen's narrow win and another seeking to invalidate the entire
election.[Reuters]
