mb - We already know that Palm Beach County (not to exclude other possible irregularities) is an extreme national (not just state) outlier. The results there already are not "fair" -- but one county should never be a problem. Alas, since both candidates are born one-termers, the margin is wire-thin and it _does_ matter. But to be really fair, we should admit the election was a tie. -mb PS - another good link elections.fas.harvard.edu The widespread belief that the 3407 votes for Buchanon in Palm Beach county is a ridiculously high number simply does not match up with reality. Even if we ignore the high level of random third party population in the county, the following points say otherwise ( all Palm Beach data) - 1. Buchanon received 8000 votes in the 1996 Republican Primary. 2. A Reform Party candidate for state senate received over 3000 votes. 3. In the US Senatorial vote, there were fully 5 utterly unknown candidates who received between 1033 and 4385 votes. Message 14812743 UNITED STATES SENATOR Bill McCollum 154528 35.47% Bill Nelson 269835 61.94% Joe Simonetta 2952 0.68% Joel Deckard 1282 0.29% Willie Logan 4385 1.01% Andy Martin 1033 0.24% Darrell L. McCormick 1623 0.37% Buchanon was more likely to be missing net votes, than to have stolen Gore votes. Make your best case for Buchanon excess votes. -g- Regards, Don
