The decision to hold a recount will be up to the canvassing board, made up of County Judge Charles Burton, an appointee of Gov. Jeb Bush, and Supervisor of Elections Theresa LePore and County Commissioner Carol Roberts, both Democrats. The board has sole authority over this decision under state law.In arguing for the countywide count, board member Carol Roberts said that if the 19 votes Gore won on Saturday are extrapolated throughout the county, there would be as many as 1,900 additional votes for Gore. That could give him Florida's 25 electoral votes and, if other states' electoral votes are unchanged, the White House. ``This clearly would affect the result of a national election,'' she said, noting that Bush holds a statewide lead over Gore of only a few hundred votes.
