...more interesting number, according to TIME reporter Kate Kelly, who is on the scene in Palm Beach, is that of the dimpled ballots. Palm Beach county has a stricter standard in counting those ballots than Broward County. But, according to sources, Gore has 2,657 of those dimpled ballots, to 1,811 for Bush, giving Gore an advantage of 846. This is very unofficial, as the dimpled ballots are set aside and are not counted in the county's official recount. However, the Gore campaign is expected to to file suit in Palm Beach County tomorrow in order to have...
...electoral college and count on House Republican strongman Tom DeLay to make sure they get seated; when an angry mob showed up to pound on the doors of the offices where Miami-Dade canvassers were meeting; when a brick flew through a Democratic party office window in Broward County with a note warning, "We will not tolerate any illegal government."

The board did not see fit to mention any thuggery in their official explanation, but when a brick gets thrown through the window of the Broward County Democratic party office with a note attached reading "We will not tolerate any illegal government," that is not the art of sweet democratic suasion...
...counting houses, the three-headed, magnifying-glass-wielding canvassing boards in Broward and Palm Beach both swear they'll be done picking over their "questionable" piles by the Sunday 5 p.m. deadline. Broward, with a quarter of its 2,000 undervotes counted, has turned up 271 net votes for Gore; Palm Beach, just beginning its own 10,000-vote stack, has turned up 14. No Lotto yet for Gore...
