Looks like who won depends on who counts the votes and how: "In a companion analysis of 9,150 so-called undervote ballots, the newspaper also found that Gore could not have picked up enough votes in Palm Beach County to defeat Bush Nov. 7 without counting every mark next to a candidate's name. An undervote occurs when a voter's intent is not irrefutably clear, and such ballots are not counted" . "Former Montana Gov. Marc Racicot, speaking for the Republicans, said: ``You're trying too hard to find a correlation here. You don't know these people, you don't know what they intended. You try to compile statistics and correlate them to a result that amounts to nothing more than speculation.'' "The Post review of overvotes, conducted between Jan. 17 and 29, illustrated the difficulty of hand recounts of punch-card ballots. Even the total number of overvotes was difficult to pin down." www0.mercurycenter.com
