Z, you guys sure are persistent in your revisionist beliefs: stern.nyu.edu > The next day, it was revealed that the actual margin was remarkably close, about 1,700 votes out of six million cast (or less than 0.03% of the total votes cast). Indeed, Florida’s election law required that if the margin of victory for any candidate was less than one half of one percent of the total votes cast, a recount would be mandatory. As the margin was much less than 1%, a machine recount had to be carried out. The recount was carried out, resulting in an even narrower gap of roughly 350 votes, with Bush still in the lead (without a count of an expected two to three thousand overseas absentee ballots). The law was carried out, and a recount occured ... by machine. You could say that there was no manual recount, but to say that there was no recount whatsoever is inaccurate at best, dishonest at worst. Tenchusatsu
