A lot of ambiguous votes were found after FL was required to do a recount. It looks very much like vote counters in Rep. counties bent over backwards to favor Bush. And in the recounts the democratic counties bent over backwards to favor Gore. Tim, are you talking about the three dimpled counties, PB, Dade etc. or are you talking about all the counties? If its the latter, yes Gore got a lot more votes from the recount because the pro Bush counters couldn't play with the vote anymore.......there was way too much public scrutiny. Many find it incredibly coincidental that the state with the most voting irregularities and the most evidence of vote miscounting occurred in the state run by Bush's brother. In almost any other situation where the vote was viewed with such suspicion and where the candidate had such ties, there would have been a call for a revote. But the Supreme Court conveniently thwarted that from happening. Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, it was an extraordinarily dark day in this country's democracy. And its why even minor moves by Bush are resulting in a very strong and opposing reaction. And it will only get worse as his term progresses. ted
