According to statewide count of Florida's 111,261 overvotes by the Miami

Herald and USA Today, Al Gore gained 682 clear votes - more than enough to

eclipse the 537 vote lead held by George W. Bush when the U.S. Supreme

Court stopped the recount on December 12.



Had these votes been counted on Election Day - as required by Florida law -

Al Gore would have been declared the winner by 145 votes.
