overvotes by florida law must be thrown out regardless. Also the intent of the voter is pre-eminent. These laws are contradictory but both equally in force. ecounts were acheived by only one of the three counties requested by Gore, Broward County(ft Lauderdale) Palm Beach was finished after the deadline but without enough votes to push gore over the top. Dade (Miami) was halted when the next batch to be recounted was the cuban vote, solidly anti democratic ever since bay of pigs and bush would have efinately picked up numbers. The authorities in all three counties including the people who ultimately decided the vote were all DEMOCRATS so pockets were beholden to Gore, not Bush,
