Scumbria: They will go to court on Monday and argue over the probability that recounts will change the election, instead of having the real data.

I think the sad fact is that it is just not possible to determine the result of an election with the current system in Florida to within a couple of percentage points.

Someone needs to admit "We're just not able to determine the results accurately enough to guarantee that the right winner will be found in an election this close. Sorry guys, but Bush won the coin toss."

EDIT: If you want to increase the accuracy in the future, you need to introduce a much simpler ballot that is consistent (at least) across the whole state.
