But didn't we know, the morning after the election, that in Jacksonville
another roughly 7,000 Gore voters in fact voted for two presidential
candidates, because they'd been told not only by their own truly super
turn-out leaders but also by newspaper ad with sample ballot, "Vote
Every Page"-- and there was more than one page for presidential
candidates.  No?

See the Nov. 12, 2001 NY Times.  Yes, if all the votes
in the state, overvotes as well as undervotes, had
been counted, Gore would have won.  This is because
approximately 7,000 poorly-informed Gore voters both
voted for him the regular way, and wrote him in as
well.  Florida law for a century had been that the
intent of the voter controls.  By contrast, only about
3,000 poorly-informed Bush voters made the same error.
 No one in Gore's legal team thought to ask for a
recount of the overvotes, so this wasn't discovered
until the news consortium counted them.

I read, that
Vice-President Gore would have carried Florida if a
statewide recount had taken place. Is
this correct?  If not, please let me know whether
there is a final consensus
on the winner of the 2000 Presidential election.
Sources would help also.
Thanks.
