It appear that the count at this point is just above 300 over Gore in the ballots that have been counted and there are several thousand overseas ballots still out that could affect the outcome. Predictions about how those ballots will vote are conjecture only. Republicans talk about how those ballots will only be Republican, but that's only conjectural at this point. In the case of the Palm Beach ballot, Pat Buchanan was listed second, behind Bush and ahead of Gore. It should have been Republican first, Democrat second, and other parties following.
Judges are very reluctant to overturn elections.
However the Gore campaign believes there were actual violations of state law in preparation of the Palm Beach ballot, there is an exceptionally strong case to be made in court. The proponents of each candidate are in each others' faces. As far as reporters go, we don't really get lobbied so much as we lobby them for information. I can't really tell you who's leaking what for me. I am certainly looking for it.
