Ellen, your post proved for me that Gore wasn't interested in counting all of the votes. He picked counties with the most undervotes in total number, but with lower than average rates of undervoting. It proves that he's not interested in solving the problem of the undervote and having all of those votes counted. He simply wants to go to the biggest pond, hoping to find the most fish. Please try to put forth an argument that supports your position, not one that makes my point for me. LoF

Ellen, I followed your link(thanks for posting) and I noticed you "edited" several Counties out. They had fairly high numbers of under/over(whateverz) votes also. Gore could have picked up those 537 votes in those Counties but I believe they went for Bush, ergo, no recount asked for by Gore. I didn't highlight all of them but I think everyone gets the idea...
