It's one thing to say that it's heavily Democrat, it's another to assume that therefore all (or most, or a given percentage) of the Buchannan vote would have gone to algore. Maybe alot of those folks were visually impaired, or had ADD and stopped reading when they got through "Bu"....and meant to vote for Bush.... That's a good point. Some probably voted Bush when they meant Gore, or Gore while they meant Bush. The fact that Buchanan and the socialist got such a disproportional amount of votes compared to the rest of the state points to people being confused. It's not much, 280K voted for Gore and under 5K for the two minority candidates. But, when this comes down to 1800 votes it's the difference. The way they're making it sound, when the absentee votes get counted Bush's lead should go up since many of the votes will be coming from the military overseas.
