Question on the electoral college: Do Florida electors legally have to vote according to the results as certified by the Commissioner of Elections?

Some states require the electors to vote according the the popular vote. In other states, the electors follow the popular choice by custom, but have no legal requirement to do so. Into which camp does Florida fall? Seems that, given the controversy over the 19,000 "duplicate vote" ballots and the 3,400 Buchanan votes in PB County, there is real room for Gore backers to persuade the electors to vote according to how the majority apparently meant to vote, regardless of the certification.

Another question: Which holes were punched in the 19,000 invalidated ballots? How often were holes 1 and 2 punched, and how often were 2 and 3 punched, etc.? My sense is that nothing close to 19,000 votes would go to Gore if they were allowed.
