The three counties Gore wanted counted and recounted and recounted were Broward, Palm Beach & Miami Dade right? So only one of the three were actually involved in the lawsuit. And didn't the recount show that Bush actually gained votes in Miami Dade once they re-counted more than just the precincts that were heavily democrat?

NOW I want to see the results of the suit that was filed in Missouri! And, where's the lawsuit over the votes for cigarettes in Milwaukee?

Now, Class, what have we learned, other than that Mary Frances Berry is a damn liar.

Gore was in error to have picked Dade (although he knew per his advisors that in the end that county at best would have havested an absolute minimum of net votes; it turned out alas that the number would have been negative, because to the surprise of all there was a slight statistical bias in favor of Bush with punch ballot undervotes). He should have picked Jacksonville instead and pushed the overvote issue. With the perfect legal strategy and with perfect knowledge, it is barely possible he might have been president. Rather sad isn't it?
