SB, I've been looking at the Florida recount data and there's something very strange about how in certain counties they heavily favor Gore. In Palm Beach, for example, there were 859 extra votes found for both candidates. Now from the election results one would expect Gore to receive around 550 of these with a standard deviation (apologies for the non-scientific) of 14. He got 751, which assuming randomness (the sample is large enough to do this) is pretty much impossible (it produces a z value of 14) i.e. the recount in some way systematically favored the Democrat. Perhaps there is a practical and innocent explanation for this? If not I think there is a basis for a lawsuit.
