"But the consortium, looking at a broader group of rejected ballots than

have
reached the same conclusions about the disputed ballots that the
consortium's independent observers did. The findings indicate that Mr.
Gore
might have eked out a victory if he had pursued in court a course like the
one he publicly advocated when he called on the state to 'count all the
votes.'"


But Algore didn't ask for a statewide recount iirc. He was only
interested in the
counties that leaned his way. Too clever by half.

No, he originally asked for it. Then Florida said it would be impossible,
and he said he only wanted certain counties recounted.

It isn't worth going over again, Wes. The point is that someone mistated
what that news consortium concluded. I'm not trying to re-argue the
election.
