More Drudge: Under any standard that counted all disputed votes in Florida, Gore erased Bush's advantage and emerged with a tiny lead that ranged from 42 to 171 votes.

If had been 10,000 votes, maybe someone could have had a beef, but no more than 171 votes? More Bush military votes than that were discarded. Count 'em long enough and you'll find the votes needed.

42 to 171 votes???!! That's absurd. This report, IMHO, more than validates Bush's election. Had it been 10,000 votes, it may have been different. What a ridiculous waste of time on the part of the media. It also says in all the cases that Gore argued for, W still wins. They can only get Gore over the top, and then barely that, if they do something that Gore and his legal team didn't even ask for. Not to mention the military ballots thrown out and the disaster in the panhandle.
