• So Gore Really Won?.
• In a new story in Thursday's editions, the Herald acknowledged what we also pointed out: that a careful examination of the Herald's own data would have led to a conclusion that Al Gore was the choice of Florida voters under a reasonable standard judging the "clear intent of the voters. ...
• The Herald's data revealed that by looking at the so-called "undervotes" in all 67 counties and counting various markings for president, Gore would have won Florida and thus the presidency.
• The Herald's second-day story said Gore would have achieved net gains of 1,475 votes in Palm Beach County and 1,081 votes in Broward County if the various marks for president recorded on the ballots were counted.
• Even with a more conservative standard, Gore could have erased Bush's certified statewide victory of 537 votes, meaning that Gore could be president today if a full, statewide recount had been permitted.
• The new Herald story, entitled "Recounts Could Have Given Gore the Edge," received only a fraction of the national attention.
• The earlier story reached its "Bush Won" conclusion by subtracting Gore's gains in Palm Beach, Broward, Volusia and part of Miami-Dade County. ...
• "Had the Broward and Palm Beach canvassing boards used the loosest standard in judging ballots Gore almost certainly would have won," the Herald reported. ...

• Deep inside the Wednesday "Bush Won" story, the Herald reported that Gore would have carried Florida by 299 votes even with a more conservative standard – counting undervotes that had been partially punched through and ballots that had indentations in more than one race, indicating a voter trying to cast a vote on a malfunctioning voting machine.
• As we pointed out, that information about Gore's apparent victory was buried in the 44th paragraph of the Herald's initial story.
• Nevertheless, in contradiction of that conventional wisdom, the evidence continues to build that Gore was not only the favorite of Florida's voters – if there had not been irregularities with the "butterfly ballot" and the purging of voters incorrectly identified as felons – but it appears that Gore also would have been elected president if a fair statewide recount had been permitted.
