So how to reconcile with:

MIAMI (AP) -- A media-sponsored recount of 10,644 uncounted ballots in
Miami-Dade County found a gain of only 49 votes for Al Gore, suggesting
he would not
have picked up enough votes to win the presidential race.

The results in Miami-Dade are the first in a statewide ballot review
carried out by BDO Seidman, an accounting firm hired by The Miami
Herald, USA Today and
Herald owner Knight Ridder.

The review was of ``undervotes'' that were not counted by machines in
the initial statewide count. Gore's 49-vote gain was based on the most
lenient method of
interpreting the challenged punch card ballots.

Even combined with Gore's gains in recounts in Broward, Palm Beach, and
Volusia counties, the former vice president would have not have overcome
a Bush lead
that was certified on Nov. 17, the newspapers reported Monday.

``There were many people who expected there was a bonanza of votes here
for Al Gore, and it turns out there was not,'' Herald Executive Editor
Martin Baron said....."
