"But the reason that hasn't happened yet is likely because the Bush team realizes that it won't make much difference except in counties where we had this
specific incidence of overvoting. Keep in mind that in PB, multiple sources have indicated that of the 19K+ overvotes, a large percentage were in fact
Gore-Buchanan overvotes. With such a large absolute number of these specific overvotes, a manual count will likely yield a few thousand for Gore.
Whatever we think of the ballot used in PB, the fact on the ground is that this specific Gore-Buchanan overvote represents a statistical anomaly of
nearly double normal overvote rates. "
Here on the radio, they said the PB manual recount was finished, and that while Gore picked up a few extra votes, it wasn't enough to effect the outcome. In addition, they reported that the hoped-for anomalies that the Gore camp had been looking for were non-existent. I might add that this was not reported on a talk show or program, but rather 1010 WINS radio reporting....
Based on what is being said in Florida - is that consistent?
In addition, it was reported that the Bush campaign can't ask for a manual recount in any county because the deadline for that request was Friday.
Ditto on the new thread....is there one? |
