The second, and last, time the Dade recount was stopped, according to the Canvassing Board, because they couldn't complete it in time if they did it in public. They tried to go into a private room, with some observers but not as many as they had before, and the crowd objected. Many of the people chanting were members of the press who had been excluded. But the Hispanics in the crowd were yelling because the Miami-Dade board only wanted to manually recount the undervotes, not the whole county, and the Hispanics objected because there weren't many undercounts from Hispanic precincts, they were, as you know, disproportionately from black precincts. I don't think you can see that on the videotape. There was a lot more going on than a bunch of people shouting. Since you know a lot about statistics, and I don't, you can tell me whether I am right or wrong when I say that to manually recount mostly black precincts which voted heavily for Gore is more likely to give more votes to Gore than if you manually recount the entire county.
