I just heard that an investigation on how the early call by the media that Florida went to Gore may have effected the outcome. Clearly if the media gave Florida to Gore before the panhandle of Florida had voted, many Bush voters may have simply decided that their vote didn't matter and didn't vote. There was a three hour period that I believed Gore was going to win for sure and that was while the polls on the West Coast were still open. No doubt some west coast Bush voters decided to throw in the towel due to this faulty early call by the media. This entire election controversy might not be an issue if they hadn't called Florida for Gore so early.
