Bush would have narrowly prevailed in the partial recounts sought by Gore, but Gore could have "reversed the outcome -- by the barest of margins -- had he pursued and gained a complete statewide recount," according to one interpretation of the database complied by the media consortium.

Call me pollyannish but this is amazing. I thought for sure if you threw the overvotes in there, Gore would have received way more votes than Bush. This indicates that he only edges out Bush with both under/over votes. This is a "nonstory."
