Interesting: Jude Wanniski of Polyconomics, the ultimate political insider and the economist who best understands the links between politics and the markets, says his sources are saying Gore is ready to give up on pursuing a re-vote in Palm Beach County. That's the good news. The bad news is that "Gore's lawyers are at the moment eyeing Broward County, where there are 4,000 ballots in Gore country where elderly voters did not press down hard enough on the punches to record the vote -- but where a hand-recount with magnifying glasses might be able to detect the indentation." The "cold civil war" as Adam put it, continues (from Don Luskin - Metamarkets)

jhild, <The issue of the double punched ballots however is more troubling especially given their format and especially given that they were used in a county heavily populated by the elderly that went heavily for the person trailing by a handful of votes. And especially given the large number of ballots disqualified.> Around 400,000 didn't have an issue punching the card. What was their excuse?
