Gore picked up 130 votes in one county, just on optically read overvotes. Seems some people who saw the words Write In thought they should write in the name of the candidate for which they had already filled in the oval. This was in Republican Lake County. The Sentinel's review "found 376 discarded ballots in Lake that were clearly intended as votes for Gore ...Another 246 such ballots showing clear votes for Bush and running mate Dick Cheney were thrown out. Had all such ballots been counted, the result would have been a net gain of 130 votes for Gore." orlandosentinel.com This is where Boies lost the election for his client. The name at the top has (and will always have) fewer errors, so they should have pushed for a recount of the overvotes, as the Justices had urged (even if they had to start over in Broward with a uniform statewide instruction).
