That's what I've been thinking. I'd be willing to bet my Flannel that most of the people chanting 'Revote' are actually people who voted for someone else, realised that Bush won, and figured they'd use the "Confusing Ballot" pretense as a front for voting for Gore, simply to get Bush out of the lead.
If it wasn't a secret ballot you couldn't do this. Damn privacy rights...

Yes, but it certainly deals a blow to the whole "illegitimate victory" weapon of Gore's.

Liam: Well, when you only poll 100 people, your percentages are rounded to a whole number. Therefore, that "1%" could actually be a small fraction of a percent. One would have to poll a much larger group to get an accurate figure.

"The 400,000 votes in NY would hardly help Bush ... Since Gore won 3729730 votes, and Bush only 2204846. Even if all 400,000 voted for Bush, he'd still lose New York."
Actually, I was thinking about HILLARY'S margin of victory...
