I believe that these are the only ballots that Miami-Dade wants to look at in the time allotted Correction... what Miami-Dade WANTED.. They are mandated by law to recount all votes should they do a manual recount. Which is why they voted yesterday to stop the recount. And which is why Gore is suing them to restart the recount... Love watching Democrats sue Democrats... Show's the trend is decisively going in Bush's direction. Btw, 100K out of 6 million votes may sound like a lot, but statistically it's a little over 1% of the total vote cast. And the whole reason that "undervotes" should be eliminated is that there is simply no way to discern whether the voter deliberately chose NOT to vote for any presidential candidate, thus their lack of vote equating to abstaining. They can't assume that because someone theoretically disliked both candidates and abstained, that it was some kind of error in one candidate's favor. Regards, Ron
