INDEXES: TOP STORIES \| NEWS \| SPORTS \| BUSINESS \| TECHNOLOGY \| ENTERTAINMENT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 5:37 p.m. ET MIAMI (AP) -- A media-sponsored review of 10,644 uncounted ballots in Miami-Dade County gave Al Gore just 49 additional votes, but Democrats challenged the suggestion that the numbers showed he would have lost Florida and the presidency had the votes been tallied. The results published Monday were the first in a statewide ballot review carried out by an accounting firm hired by The Miami Herald, USA Today and Herald owner Knight Ridder. The firm reviewed ballots that were not counted by machines in the initial statewide count -- the so-called undervote -- and used the most lenient method of interpreting voter intent on the punchcard ballots. The review suggests that Gore would not have gained enough votes in Miami-Dade to overtake George W. Bush's statewide lead of 930 votes certified on Nov. 17 -- even combined with votes the former vice president gained during hand recounts in Broward, Palm Beach and Volusia counties. Gore had request manual recounts in all four counties. ``We've never thought it's been in doubt,'' White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said. ``The overwhelming majority of the American people have moved on. This election has been resolved a long time ago.'' .............>>>>
