OT -- Gore won the popular vote by roughly the same margin as Bush appearantly won the Florida-too close to call-withdraw my concession-automatic recount-I made a mistake vote. Not true by a wide margin! If the current 1700 vote different between Bush and Gore in Florida holds, Bush won Florida by: 1700/5800000= 0.03% Based on the latest overall presidential vote on on the CNN site, Gore won the popular vote by 192,000, which comes to: 192000/97760000 = 0.2% This is 7 times the margin of the Florida vote in percentage. The miscast ballots in Palm Beach county would probably have given Gore a comfortable margin of 0.4% in Florida, two times his nationwide popular lead. This goes a long way towards explaining the "failure" of the exit polls, which apparently did not fail at all after all. What they did do is expose a miscarriage of democracy. By the way, I agree with you that from a legalistic point of view it would be difficult to do much.
