Paper Says More Votes Were Meant for Gore WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., March 10 (AP) — Al Gore would have gained 784 votes in Palm Beach County if officials had counted every punch card ballot that had a hanging chad, pinhole or dimple, The Palm Beach Post reported today. Had The Post's standard been used and its tally applied without any changes in counting procedures in Florida's other 66 counties, the revised tally would have been enough for Mr. Gore to erase George W. Bush's 537-vote margin of victory in the state. Mr. Gore had gained 174 votes in Palm Beach County's official 10-day manual recount, but those were not counted in the statewide tally because the county canvassing board missed the deadline. The Post examined the 9,150 ballots that county officials said had no vote for president, called undervotes, and found that 5,736 had a mark for either Mr. Bush or Mr. Gore. The Post also concluded, in a report for its Sunday editions, that a ballot design that confused some voters into choosing two presidential candidates might have cost Mr. Gore as many as 6,000 votes, thousands more than the number of so-called overvotes lost by Mr. Bush. nytimes.com
