Yes, there were -- even though Gore didn't request them.
But when the manual recount that matched the Gore request was completed by the media, and Gore's deficit actually grew, they decided to recount the entire state.
The statewide recount was conducted under several different rules (again, looking desperately for a Gore win) and Bush again won two of the three -- using the rules that more closely represented the accepted standard. Gore "won" the third, employing rules that have never been employed in any manual recount anywhere...by a statewide total of three (!!!) votes.
Had it been for real, such a result would trigger yet another recount. But, in this case, the media counters closed up shop and left the state...
Go figure??!!
