Al Gore is back, and much that needs saying has been. A few things to add, though: - NORC has established that all the ballots actually cast, with almost any interpretation -- including that sought by Gore in the courts -- gave a plurality to Bush.
- Those "who tried to vote" presumably don't include the voters in the panhandle who didn't make it to the polls after the national media called the race too soon. Not that those votes should count, as they weren't cast, but neither should the votes that were cast that weren't cast for Gore.
- I've been told that it's very difficult to produce a dimpled chad in normal operation. (I've voted with punch cards and have had no problems, by the way.) The way, I'm told, to produce a dimpled chad is to try to punch several cards, stacked on top of each other, at the same time.
I think Bush won by at least a couple thousand votes, excluding Democratic cheating.
