I found this in the Washington Post - (still looking for any editorial that says Gore should concede already - you guys aren't embellishing the news or op ed are ya?) The 12th Amendment to the Constitution specifically provides that an incomplete electoral college can produce a valid presidential selection, saying that a candidate needs "a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed" to be elected president. Without Florida's 25 votes, that whole number would be 513, and it would take 257 votes, five fewer than Gore's current total, to win.
