Hi Scumbria; No it is not a catch-22 situation. Several precincts were hand counted, and the interested parties could extrapolate from there. Undoubtedly the lawyers did just that. If not, then you can bet that the appeal will do it. Unless there is some rule about the appellate court not reversing earlier findings of fact, or some such happy cow cr@p. As I noted earlier, the reason Gore got very few votes from Dade county is because his margin of victory there was relatively small. The Gore gain, given that the punch card votes are tallied low by machine for both candidates, will be proportional to the Gore margin of victory, not the total size of the county. Of the total margin that Gore had in the 3 or 4 counties he asked for recounts, Dade only gave him 11% of his overall margin of victory. For that reason, hand counting the full Dade county should only have increased his vote gain by about 1/.89 = 12% or so. Follow the margins, not the vote totals... -- Carl
