"This page argued for allowing as many votes to be counted as possible under the imperfect circumstances prevailing at Florida polling places, and we also called for a liberal standard in counting overseas absentee ballots from members of the armed services. But the study found that Republican counties were far more likely to count the flawed overseas ballots than were Democratic counties — a difference attributable in part to the relentless, aggressive efforts of Mr. Bush's Florida advisers. When it became clear that the overseas ballots could be decisive, teams of Bush lawyers fanned out to all 67 canvassing boards, armed with one strategy to get as many ballots counted as possible in Republican counties, and another set of tactics aimed at challenging likely Gore votes in Democratic counties."
