"There clearly was something wrong with the Florida election. In the recount, Gore has gained more than 3X as many votes as Bush. This is statistically out of the realm of possibility in a random process of that sample size, indicating that some non-random errors were introduced at the first count. i.e. Someone was probably cheating for Bush in the original count." Yep...no question about it. The networks projected Florida for Gore based on exit polling models that have proved reliable over time, not infallable albeit. This was a bogus election by any measurement in Florida...!!!

Scumbria, In the recount, Gore has gained more than 3X as many votes as Bush. This is statistically out of the realm of possibility in a random process of that sample size, indicating that some non-random errors were introduced at the first count. another way to look at it is that Bush total changed by 0.0023 of 1 percent and Gore total changed by 0.0076%. When dealing with people and a manual process, this is a remarkable accuracy. I wish I could achieve this level of accuracy with in our company with our employees at any given task. Someone was probably cheating for Bush in the original count. I bet you would say that someone is cheating on the recount if the situation was reversed. Sounds like a Jesse Jackson school of thinking. Joe
