The Miami Herald article contains the real answer on who won the Florida election when you count all the votes -- Al Gore. But you have to read way down the article to get the answer. The Florida courts determined that under Florida law you had to count all the votes where the intent of the voter was clear. This included Florida ballots with hanging chad and dimpled chad -- the same standard that Bush signed into law in Texas. miami.com But the rest -- 3,146 -- bore markings that made it clear who the voter preferred, The Herald found. Generally, this occurred when voters chose a candidate and then cast a write-in vote for that same candidate.... Most of those recoverable overvotes -- 1,871 -- were for Gore. Bush received 1,189 such votes. Other candidates received 86. That net gain for Gore of 682, when coupled with the undervotes, would have been enough to carry the Democrat to the White House under two standards for gauging undervotes. Gore's margin would have been 332 votes if all dimpled ballots were counted. It would have been 242 votes if dimpled ballots were counted only when dimples also appeared in other races.
