<<Saturday November 18 2:46 PM ET Bush Campaign Says Florida Vote Recount Flawed AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Republican George W. Bush's campaign on Saturday said he had a clear lead over Democrat Al Gore in the presidential election and complained that the ongoing vote recount in Florida was ``reinventing'' election results. ``We now have clear and compelling evidence from eyewitnesses that this manual recount process is fundamentally flawed and is no longer recounting, but is distorting, reinventing and miscounting the true intentions of the voters of Florida,'' Karen Hughes, Bush campaign communications director, said in a news conference. Hughes' comments came after uncertified results showed Bush leading Gore in Florida by 930 votes, including absentee ballots. ``All of those times and all of those counts show that Gov. Bush and Secretary (Dick) Cheney won the state of Florida. We are hopeful that once the Supreme Court hears arguments in this case on Monday the laws of Florida will prevail and the election will be certified.'' Hughes also accused Gore's backers of a ``targeted effort'' to throw out up to one third of the overseas absentee ballots. Republicans have accused the Gore campaign of behaving unpatriotically by challenging overseas ballots, many of which came from members of the armed services.>>
