Politics : PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

I'm sure someone else has done what I did in downloading the statewide results from:

enight.dos.state.fl.us

then manually adding a column for the undervotes by county from:

cnn.com

I know it's an oversimplification, but if the undervotes were "converted" to legal votes in the same proportions as the certified results, I get a net gain for Bush of 277 (2399 - 2122) if I assume 10% of all undervotes were recoverable.

Naturally this would require consistent standards across counties and honest counting, which I think is the gaping hole in my exercise's logic, sadly...

Has anyone else done the exercise?

Scrapps,

Thank you for sharing your work in digging this out. If this all play's out to the last ballot being counted for the umpteenth time as Gore tries to devine votes away from those who choose not to punch out any chad for president, it looks to me that he is still the loser. I wonder if he will decide to say he still should win for all the anguish this has caused him?
