67 out of 67 Florida counties counted... Bush holds 362 vote lead!!!!

I thought the recount was including absentee ballots rec'd to this point. Also, if all counties except Seminole had been counted, and GW had a 200-vote lead, then wouldn't a county giving +15000 be a total of like +15200??? I'm not a math wiz....somebody please explain.
 
George,

We are looking at net gains and losses from the first count.

When the first count was done, Bush led by aprox 1750 votes. This *includes* Bush winning Seminole county by those 15000 votes.

What the second count is indicating is that Gore has *gained* enough votes to reduce Bush's lead to only 229 votes.

Since Seminole county still hasn't reported its results for the second count, if Gore picks up enough votes to offset Bush's current 229 vote lead, game over. :(

It's interesting to note that Bush didn't lose that many votes in the recount, but rather Gore actually *gained* that many.

What I want to know is how did Gore consistently pick up so many votes? :confused: Seems awefully convenient that he gets just what he needs just when he needs it...

Well we have had our recount as required by law.... We will have to wait until next friday by law to count the remaining overseas ballots that come in to find the final results. If the numbers hold in Bush's favor the election is over folks. I don't care if the courts try and change it afterwords or if they try and hold another election in one county, my president will be GW. I will follow the constitution and abide by the results. All this other stuff is BS. There are to many chances of fraud to delay for another recount by hand or another election etc. We must follow the constitution.

The web site for the Florida Department of State reports 66 of 67 counties have completed their recounts. Palm Beach remains the only county not reported, since they are going to do a hand recount starting tomorrow (11/11).

Current totals reported are:

Bush - 2,910,078
Gore - 2,909,117

a difference of +961

However, remember that the first recount of Palm Beach showed an increase for Gore of 751 and for Bush of 108, thus narrowing the lead to +318, if my math is correct. This is still all "unofficial" !!!

November 7, 2000 General Election

Unofficial and Preliminary Results
The current results reflect the last recount results provided to the Division of Elections from the Supervisors of Elections in Florida. These results are “unofficial.” There are also hand counts being conducted in some Florida counties at this time. These results are not “official” until all 67 counties have certified their results to the Division of Elections. The deadline for official certification is November 14, 2000.

In addition, overseas absentee ballots postmarked no later than November 7th and received within 10 days (November 17th) from the date of the election will also be counted and certified to the Division of Elections.
