Another had ALL the bullets for President filled in EXCEPT for the one for W.

That would be an "Anybody But Bush" vote.

I think it was on Rush about the state-wide vote. Since Gore only asked for specific places, he would have lost anyway. But I have heard twice now that he would have won if the entire state had been recounted - maybe it was, I don't remember.

I was really getting concerned because I was opening the absentee ballots, and helping do the reconciliation (when someone votes for 2 instead of 1, or used pen instead of pencil, new ballots are filled out at the courthouse so those votes are not lost), there were a lot of gore votes. Being in TX, there were more than I expected. Of course, W won our county, but I was worried for awhile. I worked until after 10, when most of the ballots were in and counted, so I missed a lot of the tv stuff - stayed up most of the night watching it.
