Escambia county - 800 potential votes for Bush Politics/Elections News Keywords: RECOUNT Source: Fox News Published: November 12, 2000 Author: TBBT Posted on 11/12/2000 11:49:30 PST by TBBT As per Fox News: Escambia county uses a paper ballot that has arrows pointing to the candidates names. These are broken in the middle an the voter fills the broken arrow in with a pen to (which completes the arrow) indicate the candidate for which they chose to vote for. According to Fox News there were 800 of these ballots that had votes for GWB, but also had the arrow filled next to the "write in" box where the voter also wrote in GWB's name. The counting machines counted these ballots as double votes - but there is now question as to whether in a manual recount that these votes could be counted for Bush. freerepublic.com
