Folks, the bottom line is that if the names on the ballot had been properly situated, Gore would have had an additional 11-13,000 vote margin in this County, and the election would be over. By attributing the same percentage of the vote Gore obtained in those precincts to the disqualified ballots, Gore would be winning Florida by at least 10,000 votes. In other words, Gore has actually won the election both in the popular vote and in the electoral vote, but he may well still lose it. You should also be aware that other large counties in the State disqualified about one half of one percent of their ballots for casting two or more votes in the Presidential race. Lastly, don't expect the recount to be over on Thursday, as the media is stating.
Legal actions are underway.
F Fine with me but much simpler just to tally the 19,000 ballots that were not counted.
