Results from hand recounts in two Democrat-leaning Florida counties. Democrat Al Gore has made a net gain of 66
votes, which, if approved, would trim George W. Bush's 930-vote lead in the state to 864.

-- In Broward County, with all 609 precincts recounted, plus 38,000 absentee ballots, Gore gained 64 votes.

-- In Palm Beach County, with 165 of 531 precincts recounted, Gore gained two votes.

-- In Miami-Dade County, election officials have suspended their hand recount. Previously, with 135 of 614 precincts
recounted, Gore had gained 157 votes. But the county no longer plans to ask the state to include those totals in their final returns.

As Davidw pointed out, this is a big blow for Gore. Miami-Dade will not ask that 157 votes be added to Gore's total, and will not conduct further hand counting.
 
Miami/Dade can't request the 157 be added

It ends up that unless they (Miami/Dade) completely hand-count "ALL" of the ballots, then a partial recount can not be allowed by State law....

Of course the Florida SC may jump back into the middle of this and pronounce that "in all fairness, we are extending the time from 5PM Sunday until ????" Don't be surprised if this happens as nothing seems to stop the Democrats from pulling every string and breaking any law in order to steal the Presidency.
 
The Gore campaign says they are filing suit to force the county to go on with the handcount. For god's sake, let those poor volunteers and underpaid county officers eat their turkey in peace!

My wife says that with all the good people praying for George W Bush it is hard to imagine another outcome.
Keep the faith!
 
That new Gore suit in Miami-Dade should wake up a lot of Democrats, particularly in Florida, to the fact that Gore will take even his supporters to court to make them bend to his will. If they have even the slightest ability to form independent thoughts, they should realize they are nothing more than puppets to Gore.
