Here's a look at some Florida election insanity, from a professor at Univ of Nevada Las Vegas. I put the link on the bottom so you guys can check it out if you would like.

Interesting perspective...AL GORE'S ILL-GOTTEN VOTE GAINS
Meet Tom Carroll. He's an economics professor at the University of
Nevada-Las Vegas. Since last Thursday, Carroll
has been running statistical analyses on the net vote gains Al Gore and
George W. Bush have made in the Florida
recounts. Gore, as you know, has picked up about 2,200 votes, and Bush has
added about 700 votes to his total.
Carroll found that the statistical chances for such large and different
totals (more votes for Gore than for Bush during
the recounts) are about one in 49 million. Basically, the odds of Gore
picking up more than 1,500 votes are about the
same as the likelihood of a single person getting hit by lightning 30 times.
What it all boils down to is that something very fishy has been going on in
Florida over the past week--as if you didn't
already know that. Think about it. Shouldn't a recount increase the
numbers of votes for all candidates uniformly,
rather than overwhelmingly lopsided, as the recounts have turned up more
votes in favor of Al Gore?
But Gore supporters would tell you that they just want a "fair and accurate
count that expresses the will of the people."
And if the will of the people is for Gore to beat 1-in-49-million odds and
magically pick up votes in Florida, well, so be it.It doesn't add up.

This is why Gore wanted the recount.

He knew his votes were going to Buchanan and now that has been proved.

d1734,

If SB's info is bullshit, then MattTheSkywalker's info is bullshit too. You can't call bullshit on only one side.

Steel,

Hook me up with a link. I gave you one to check it out.

Also, Palm Beach County has the highest number of registered Independents of all the counties in Florida, in fact there are over 40,000 of them.

If the ballot was punched for Buchanan, then you have to count it as a vote. 3401 ballots were punched for Buchannan in Palm County. If some voters did this by mistake, then it is their own damn fault. They should take their voting responisbility more seriously.
