Gore Won Florida by 29,756 votes

[Nathan Newman]

The Miami Herald only looked at the original four counties.  Ironically,
Bush would have won if he had just let the recounts go forward, but would
have lost under the Florida Supreme Court's rule that there had to be a
statewide recount.

Another irony is that most of Gore's votes apparently did not come from
"chads" in punchcard systems but actually came from "overvotes" in optical
systems, the supposedly more accurate system.
