Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2000
In our effort to expand on the popular vote count, NewsMax.com has learned that there are so many varied counts, we don't know what will happen.
The AP has the numbers as:
Gore (D) 50,996,064
Bush (R) 50,456,167
Nader (Gre) 2,864,810
Buchanan (Ref) 448,750
Browne (Lbt) 386,024
USA Today has the numbers as:
Gore (D) 50,158,094
Bush (R) 49,820,518
Nader (Gre) 2,783,728
Buchanan (Ref) 445,343
Browne (Lbt) 383,173
The National Archive says:
Gore (D) 50,753,172
Bush (R) 50,385,804
Some experts were saying that many of the state counts were incorrect, but all the stories from those Web sites have disappeared!
In any case, the absentee ballots have not been counted (and those are widely expected to favor Bush), and so no one can say what the true totals are at this time.
We may have called the election too soon.
