``Out of 3,200 votes, Bush had a gain of one vote,'' Burton Palm Beach County is examining its 460,000 presidential ballots one at a time and announced the first results late Friday afternoon. Early today as I was writing my posts I was surprised to read the Miami Dade county has reversed or will reverse the decision of manual count, I thought hang on this is something, I made an assumption that most probably Palm Beach is not Mr Nice Gore way and not going to give the 600 plus see through votes that Gore needs. The Democratic party comes to Mr Nice and must have prevailed over the board in Miami dade.. I was than making an assumption only but just now as I was reading the press I found this piece and now the jig saw puzzle fits in.. the Miami is a sequel to Palm beach after getting hit by postal ballots now 'Mr Nice' wants a new pandora box of more than 558000 votes to get his remaining 'see throughs'.. but the reason is..they will keep counting unless they get it right after the postal ballot.. <<Palm Beach County is examining its 460,000 presidential ballots one at a time and announced the first results late Friday afternoon. ``Out of 3,200 votes, Bush had a gain of one vote,'' Burton said. His announcement covered only a fraction of the 32,000 votes counted over 15 hours by more than two dozen teams. The others can be added to the tally only after the board examines disputed punch-card ballots, which were pimpled or partially punched by voters. The board also began its examination of 52 ballots that were supposed to be from overseas. It spent 15 minutes arguing over the first eight ballots, trying to determine whether they were valid.>>
