Percentages which don't offer totals. Here are some simple easy to understand totals, and a plain conclusion.

"The Post says that while Mr. Bush carried Duval with 58% of the vote, the spoiled ballots were concentrated in
African-American sections of downtown Jacksonville. True enough, but those precincts have small populations so
they don't make up anywhere near a majority of the spoilage. Fully 16,650 of the spoiled votes came in districts
Mr. Bush carried by more than 2 to 1. That explains why the Gore people aren't calling for a recount of Duval."
