" But the fact that the Times failed to prove that overseas
ballots alone might not have tipped the balance is secondary
when placed in the larger context of the rest of what we
know about the election. That Al Gore won national vote by
a considerable margin — more than either Kennedy in 1960
or Nixon in 1968 — is undisputable. That he won the votes
of Floridians using the “voter’s intent” standard outlined in
that state’s election laws is also indisputable. (Republican
lawyers fought against the use of this standard in most
cases, except in those that would have disqualified overseas
military ballots in favor of their candidate, in which case they
fought just as vociferously to employ it.) Illegally excluded
“overvotes” also would likely have given Gore a substantial
margin of victory.
Now throw in the fact that Katherine Harris chose to
arbitrarily exclude 215 votes from Palm Beach County
because they arrived two hours late. Add to these factors
the deliberate theft of many of his legitimate overseas votes
and the illegal inclusion of hundreds of Republican votes
and, once again, it becomes harder and harder to conclude
that the right man is sitting in the Oval Office, no matter
what standard one chooses. "
