The media may have "called it for Gore" at 6:49, but there's another issue -- I'll have to go digging for it, but I'm pretty sure that the media announced that the *polls were closed* in Florida an *hour* before they actually closed in the panhandle.
To make all of this plausible, first the panhandle voters are too stupid to know when their polls close, then 10,000 of them had to wait until the last 15 minutes before the polls closed and then turned around when they heard the news. Then on top of that, it was harder to find anyone in the panhandle who actually admitted to being duped out of voting than it is to find an honest person in Congress.
