In Oregon, which remained too close to call early this morning, election officials would hold a recount if the differential between the candidates was one fifth of one percent of the total. If the total was greater, either Bush or Gore could file a request for recount through the Secretary of State's office. Bush held a two percentage point lead over Gore in the state with 70 percent of the vote counted. In Iowa, Gore had received 49 percent, or 606,086 votes, narrowly defeating Bush's 48 percent, or 597,538 votes, with 94 percent of precincts reporting. If the final tally has a margin of victory of less than one percent, election officials will hold a recount.
Candidates can request a recount if the difference is greater.
In Wisconsin, officials were still tallying votes in the early hours, and said there had been no talk of a recount yet. With 99 percent of precincts reporting in the state, Gore had 1,239,774 votes, or 48 percent, compared to 1,233,512, or 48 percent, for Bush. The Web Copyright 2000 ABC News Internet Ventures.
