US Supreme Court will find in favor of Bush...here is why.

If you change the sample you change the findings. In this case examining the UNDERVOTE instead of all the votes alters the result......
If a dimple counts as a vote then a dimple plus a clear punch should be excluded as a vote for two candidates but yet it is not being considered.
The computers can sort out the undervote as it sees it as a vote for no one but can not detect ballots with a hole for one candidate and a dimple for another. This would require a manual recount of all ballots. Gore received 200000 more votamatic votes than Bush across the state of Florida so by selectively examining the extra votes from the UNDERVOTE he stands to gain. For the same reason Gore however would also stand to lose more votes than Bush from the extra OVERVOTES which are not being examined. Since the effect on counting dimples on the OVERVOTE is not be examined the US Supreme Court will rule that the UNDERVOTE selective count is illegal.
