Yes, the sample results dictate the decision whether to do the whole county or not.

<<But Gore has already won in these counties. So what is the justification? >>

There would be no justification for re-doing a county won by Gore, if that county could allocate an electoral vote. But Florida's electoral votes aren't allocated by simply winning counties, they are allocated for winning the state.
With the margin this close, you would logically go to the counties where you had your highest % of votes for your candidate to find extra votes in the ones rejected by machine.

That's the best one of the morning, by far......
CB, I'm surprised you don't live in Palm Beach County. I'm incredulous about your tortured logic. That statement demonstrates world-class chutzpah. I don't know whether to laugh or cry over your utter disdain for fair play, not to mention your weak grip on reality.

Regards, Ray :)
