After the Supreme Court ruled, the Florida newspapers paid for the full-up, all-in, precinct-by-precinct recount of the entire state of Florida, under the various recount rules.
They were SO hoping that they could run headlines saying that Gore actually won.
There was just this one little problem. Their total recounts showed that, under ALL of the recount rules, Bush won, fair and square. Interestingly enough, Gore's preferred recount rules gave Bush the largest margin, and Bush's preferred rules gave the smallest margin, but ALL of them gave Bush the victory.
Needless to say, this didn't get a lot of air play or front page space.

That ain't sour grapes, thats a fact. Not one you would change the election for because those dumb old fuckers should have read the ballot better but the fact is Gore would have won had the ballots been easier to read.
