CNN Florida recount study: Bush still wins Study reveals flaws in ballots, voter errors may have cost Gore victory WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A comprehensive study of the 2000 presidential election in Florida suggests that if the U.S. Supreme Court had allowed a statewide vote recount to proceed, Republican candidate George W. Bush would still have been elected president. The National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago conducted the six-month study for a consortium of eight news media companies, including CNN. cnn.com If it's too bad to be true, it may not be voter fraud Most statistical enigmas in recent election have logical explanations, despite Web rants But VerifiedVoting.org, founded by a Stanford University professor to examine problems with electronic voting machines, counters that no evidence has been found of wide-scale problems or manipulation of those machines. "As far as the information (BlackBoxVoting.Org) have presented publicly, we have not seen fraud and certainly not to the degree that would impact the election results," said Will Doherty, executive director of VerifiedVoting.org. Other problems in individual precincts or counties are par for elections, said Thomas Patterson, Bradlee Professor of Government and the Press at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. "If we held a contest where we had to start 500,000 automobiles around the country on a cold morning and have them all start ... it wouldn't happen," Patterson said. sfgate.com
