re: #276 laZardo

Electoral college votes per state are decided from popular votes in those respective states. That the recount was halted only during its limited county-by-county basis implies that the election could those deciding electoral college votes would have turned the results on their head.

NY Times and other papers did a number recount analysis, Al Gore lost every one.

Al Gore wanted to recount (D) controlled counties only, include over count ballots (ballots with two presidential candidates selected) as his and excluded military ballots without a post mark date (military mail does not have dated post marks).

Al Gore chose Richard Daley (Chicago) to head is recount effort.
