Most of the Country dis agrees with you.

Even if you give the ~189 votes to Gore from Palm Beach manual recount.

Even if you continue to manually re-count the Miami Dade. since after counting all of the heavily democrat precincts they only got 200 votes, the remaining precincts are most likley to close the gap, if not push Bush into the positive there.

Then you have to consider what would happen if they manually recounted the other punch card counties, which are all republican, you have the situation that would most likely expand Bush's lead.

So yes most folks belive that Bush won, and for good logical reasons.

The only way for Gore to win is to get Palm Beach contested ballots changed, which would involve changing the standard yet again (3rd time), and prevent a manual recount of the remaining 14 counties with punch cards. Could happen I suppose.

Your conspiracy theory is more appropriate to the black helicopter crowd imo.
